Mapping Laughs


I’ve been wanting to add to the “Crazy” category (See categories, at right) on this blog for a while but had too much “serious” content to get through first. So finally, here’s another Crazy entry. This special map cake comes to us courtesy of the Cake Wrecks blog:





Matt Rosenberg has posted a fine compilation of one-liners dealing with maps here including this one:
Q. Why didn’t the map have any meridians?
A. It was a map of a parallel universe.


And I couldn’t help but post this t-shirt design from BustedTees. You see, sometimes the map can be really simple and still get the point across!

    Gretchen,

    Ha! Those are hilarious. Here’s another one I really enjoy: A Map of a Holiday in Hell by Frank Jacobs (of Strange Maps) here: http://bigthink.com/ideas/39631.

    If you like funny maps, then I suggest you check out Blue Sky GIS blog on maps in cartoons/comics found at http://blueskygis.blogspot.com/. Some are funny, some are political, and some are map failures.
