The_Rev Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 This is a map of the world. And this is a map of the world where countries are scaled to show them reflected as international tourist destinations. Western Europe gets almost 50% of the worlds international tourism, yes there are a lot of countries close together here which helps but i still find it surprising. I find it odd just how big a deal the UK is on the tourism map too. Yes, we have a lot of culture and history, but the weather is shit isnt it? See if you can figure out what that represents. The answer, and 15 other maps are here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing (clicked onto the gallery but haven't got to that picture) that it's size of nuclear arsenal... EDIT: got it in one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Aye. Its mad that the balance of nuclear power is held by so few countries. Its a very good thing of course, 8 nations with the bomb is 8 too many. You know the map wont look like that in 20-30 years though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviramsey Posted October 3, 2008 VT Supporter Share Posted October 3, 2008 First we* got the bomb and that was good Cause we love peace and motherhood. Then Russia got the bomb, but that's OK Cause the balance of power's maintained that way Who's next? France got the bomb, but don't you grieve Cause they're on our side, I believe China got the bomb, but have no fear They can't wipe us out for at least five years Who's next? Then Indonesia said that they Were gonna get one any day South Africa wants two, that's right One for the black and one for the white Who's next? Egypt's gonna get one too Just to use on you-know-who So Israel's getting tense Wants one in self-defense "The Lord's our shepherd," says the Psalm But just in case, we better get the bomb Luxembourg is next to go And who knows, maybe Monaco We'll try to stay serene and calm When Alabama gets the bomb Who's next... -- Tom Lehrer, 1965 *: From a video I saw of Mr. Lehrer performing this on the BBC, "we" refers collectively to the USA and UK...

Ponky Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Captain Cook might have had a lazy cruise down the east coast in 1770, but the Dutchies passed us on the left hand side 150-odd years before that (1644 for this map): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What gave it away was: USA & Canada together, but Australia under a different color (so it's not a common language thing) Japan separate from rest of Asia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
