#1 Mmmm...grid cells of uniform size? I suppose that makes it easier to compute distances, if the grid were representative of distance, which it's not.

Relative land mass, uhhh maybe, but you don't need a grid for that. It's not mass at all.

#8 Although the map the Boston School district is using was no doubt intended to glorify how important the third world is, how much land they control and all that it just makes them appear as bigger failures.

#13 Natacha was trashin' the borders:
Sad Universe Dashed in Disorder!
Such luck that her locus
Remained at the focus,
So Massholes were sure to support her.

#14 The world re-discovered, sans scurvy:
"Screw old dead explorers." Ooh, nervy!
A renaissance flowered:
"Our kids were empowered
By turning their maps topsy-turvy!"
