Not a normal use of a map, but very cool.

Ed Fairburn doesn't draw your ordinary portraits. Instead, he draws on maps, using borders, roads, and topography to help shape his creations. The result is simply stunning.

That is awesome.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

That's it?

I don't believe it. Our forums aren't on there. Nothing is more suspect than us.

or really bored civil engineers.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Cool couple of maps. Thanks, Brant.

The Asia Border map is curious. Fully half (9 of the 18 mentioned) involve China.
