JCC The Interesting Maps Thread

You ever think about how the four color theorem kicks ass?

 

Avengers! Aaaallll Avengers!

 

Never in quite the length such a kick-ass theorem deserves, to be honest.

 

Here's a different view

 

What syphilis was called before it was called syphilis


Someone else did it

 

You gotta love how everyone unanimously decided somehow to name the disease after their enemies/neighbors....except for Scotland, which just went with a super hardcore name. Grandgore indeed.

 

I think it's a remarkable testament to the universality of human experience that so many seemingly disparate regions arrived at the name "No data."

 

Milk consumption

Lactose Intolerance

 

That's interesting. Does being lactose intolerant lead to less milk drinking, or does drinking more milk make you less likely to be lactose intolerant? Hmm...


All I know is Sweden and Finland are nuts for drinking that much milk.

And people pay millions of dollars to live in small boxes in that city. I will never understand it. San Francisco is fine to visit once in a while, but I would hate living there.

 

WWII Shipwrecks around the world

 

Remark:
I bet the guys on that ship were really pissed off

 

Truly a hike everyone should take.

 

So this got me thinking, interactive shipwreck maps did not show anything this southern. However that location is the Kerguelen plateau, and the German expedition to the Kerguelen islands by the Atlantis resulted in the "the most southerly German war grave" of the second world war, when Bernhard Herrmann fell to his death during repairs. The grave is actually still there, far as I can tell he fell onto land and despite ominous statements, I couldn't find anything on other deaths.

So not an actual shipwreck, just an anecdote. The interactive maps seem to not have as much info though, so who knows what this wreck is? Sea Australia made the map based on their data, but I cant find that data.

Reddit actually has an interesting thread discussing the legitimacy of the map, and some of the missing content. Some I saw explained elsewhere like Pearl Harbor and Midway being excluded, but those sunken off of Estonia not being present is unexplained

 

Interesting. I've never been to Norway, but I've been to Hell, Grand Cayman. Called so because it looks like this:
