Inflatable Globes, and Other Similar Items
Yesterday I was looking for fall foliage data* and today I’m looking into inflatable globes and other weird different globe products. Truly, I would never claim that my job is boring. I figure you’ll be just as interested in this great new research topic as I am. Here are a few of the finds:
$13.95, grapefruit sized
The description says that this moon globe has a sense of humor, but it really has a sense of mystery, since we can’t see it clearly in the picture.
$21.95, no size info
This looks fun, and is an example of the four color theorem!
$1.24, 16″
I really wanted to like this one because it is so cheap, but unfortunately the reviews warn that the colors on the actual product are much uglier than they appear in the picture. Moving on.
$6.87, 12″
Definitely a contender as a contest prize for my upcoming cartography workshop. It’s also one of the more popular ones on Amazon.
$37.00, 36″
Another contender. Nice colors.
$4.65, 22″
This is a balloon that I assume you fill with helium. The colors look fantastic. We won’t quibble on the spatial inaccuracies.
$A lot, 576″
Yes, it is actually an inflatable globe! David Byrne’s High Line Globe.
