A Bunch of Maps

So, it’s Sunday and you’re having a morning coffee.  Well, at least I am.

Before the Sunday news commentary programs come one, maybe you need to get up to speed on your world Geography.

From the BoredPanda blog, check out “40 Maps They Didn’t Teach You in School”.

It’s pure humour and some of the maps may be inappropriate for some so consider whether you want to click through or not.

On the other hand, if you’re curious about “The World According to Americans”, you might enjoy this.

For the record for my American friends, I have never trapped anything and I don’t wear fur.

The content of this blog is created by me at the keyboard or as a result of an aggregator of my daily reading under the title OTR Links. On Fridays, look for my signature post “This Week in Ontario Edublogs” where I try to share some great writing from Ontario Educators. The other regular post appears Sunday mornings as I try to start a conversation about things that have gone missing from our daily lives.

    It is Sunday, and I’m drinking some green tea… and totally loving the maps. I keep re-reading them and giggling. Thanks for sharing the smiles!

    Thanks, Colleen. Every time I take a look at them, I see something I previously missed. I must admit that my favourite was the one showing countries not using the metric system.
