A Map of Luxembourg

 

It's Tedious Tuesday, and tradition dictates that it's an "odd" slide today.

Does a slide of a map of Luxembourg count?

Could be considered fascinating, by some.

Bonus -

Panda Preserves

 

A bit of a dichotomy - Tedious Tuesday and Pandas, natures evolutionary mistake.

More precisely, a slide from a commercial set of slides labelled "Pandas and their World." And this was the most tedious slide.

Bonus - The Whale That’s Known Only by the Sound of Its Voice

Bonus 2 - Naturally, my first thought on seeing Preserves of the Giant Panda was 

Giant Panda Jam

Where In The World? Shihmen Reservoir

 

I'm sure that 97% of the readership will look at the name, and the labels on the map and say "China".

And you would be sort of correct.

A genuine tip o' the sombrero to the 3% who said "Taiwan" or "Chinese Teipei" or Republic of China. Yes, the reservoir is located on that island.

Bonus - Mount Vesuvius eruptions in the 1700s - pietro fabris

Bonus 2 - Do I really have to explain every image?

Map

Oh. Right.

A slide of a map.   Of Guatemala.

Or somewhere.

Yawn

Bonus - Art involving Celery,  Gravity and Panties.
Lileks.

Anyone know exactly where?

The Map of Chichen Itza

This Blog does like to be educational.

Today, a map of the antiquities at Chichen Itza as they were in December 1975.  Of course, the map is of limited use now - the sites having being sponsored by American Conglomerates. For example, the House of the Corn Grinders is now officially The Mountain Dew Grinder House.  Sad.

Bonus - Dorset knob throwing: Hopes high for record.("The event also features a knob eating contest, knob darts and a knob-a-thon")

Map and Compass

There was a story in the papers recently, that the prevalence of GPS and SatNav's has put the Ordnance Survey's maps in danger of obsolescence. Obviously, my Media Bullshit Detector starter pinging, but there is a core of truth in the story. More's the pity, as OS maps are a fantastic resource, and I love them.

So, today's slide is a welcome reminder of proper navigation - map and compass (lanyard round neck.)

Bonus - Necessity is the mother of invention.
