Texas as Canada.  That's... extremely disturbing.

This map is hard to figure out in the crowded part of the country. I couldn't figure out if I am living in Hong Kong or New Zealand without going to the list.  Fortunately it is Hong Kong.  But I will be watching out for the flocks of sheep in DC from now on.

You won't often find Venezuela conflated with Nebraska.  I wonder what business Nebraska does that produces as much cash as an Petroleum Exporting Country?  Life insurance?  Surely cattle feed isn't that lucrative?

Sorry Smell, you know have to start wearing an extremely comic hat to cover your hideously bleached hair. Either that or Paul has to start saying Zed and watching Red Green.

As disturbing as a Stetson in a Tim Horton's.

Oh wait...they do that in Calgary.

That is brilliant.  I think I'll start calling Alberta "Little Texas."  I wonder if this will annoy my friends from there?  Probably it won't, as they all left Alberta for the very reasons you'd suspect.

Isn't this pretty true anyways?  There's a fair bit of oil coming out of Alberta these days, what with the tar sands becoming profitable with the price of oil and all.

Iowa is Venezuela.

Nebraska is the Czech Republic.  And your food comes from somewhere.

Nebraska being the Czech Republic makes me snicker, given the sheer concentration of people I knew as a high-school student there who had the Eastern-European-surnames-with-no-vowels going on. Really, aside from the lack of Prague and, you know, the lack of geography, they could well be interchangeable.

(Feel free to make the same joke with the fact that Minnesota is analogous to Norway.)

I'm kickin' it from Indonesia right now, and that feels a little weird.

That's a good website for people who like maps, and I like maps.

The Stockholm metro map is fun.

Nebraska is the Czech Republic.  And your food comes from somewhere.

Indeed it does, but the corn grown in Nebraska goes to pigs and cattle, not people.  I'll definitely eat a pig or cow, but I'm pretty sure they come from Oklahoma, Texas,Tennessee, Arkansas or Alabama (though most likely California, in my case).
