Okay.

mercator sucks hairy donkey balls.

[adventure_of_link]

Okay.

...and I don't get it. (however at the top center of the map you can see what looks like a rhino...)

Well, being an aspie I often notice patterns in things. For example, today I was admiring some furniture decorations, and one of the flowers in the sewing, looked like a face. I see patterns in lots of things, that others would not.

This is what my brain sees in the picture that I provided:

Two monsters fighting each other.

Look at the americas. It looks like Canada and America are a body. Look at the coast off west/northwest of Alaska, and it looks like a head, with its mouth open, roaring. Joined with Greenland, it looks like it has wings. Then look at Latin America, and it looks like a large foot, or some kind of stinger, with Venezuela, Brazil, Coumbia, Peru, and Bolivia being the base, and Chile and Argentina being the actual stinger.

Now look at the combination of Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania. It looks like Australia is a front foot, with the split from south east asia as being some kind of leg. Below Russia, it looks like some kind of thigh. Russia looks like the body, with the land to the wery east, looking like a head. The fact that the heads of Russia and the Americas, are close. The look angry. ?

Do you see it? It looks like two monsters fighting.

When you consider the fact that the worlds continents were once joined, it is quite uncanny that the world map looks this way. They eventually split apart. Indeed, if you look at the world map the normal way, you can easily see where they once joined. Also consider the historical intolerance and division betwoon eastern and western countries..

However, that is a flat map. The earth is a sphere. Well, when you roll the image such that the americas are on the east, and asia/europe/africa/australia as being on the west, it looks this way.

Well, I have a habit of reading into things too much, but I thought that I would share this.

As for why I came here to post it: I thought that it would be fun. I have not come here to do the things I normally do, like act like a complete baby. Although, maybe this will just add to what you call "the lols".

I just thought that it would be interesting.

I was working on a geographical web application using the JavaScript API (Google V3 API) from Google, and so naturally I have been looking at maps for days. Then I notice this pattern. I first mentioned it to a friend-in-kind, he sees it (although whether he questions my sanity, remains a mystery to me), but I thought that I would post it here.

I did not see the rhino until you showed me. I also see a face looking to the left, on Greenland.

Also, look at Japan, it is on the verge of a tectonic plate, which stretches from there, and you see a split towards Alaska. There can also be seen a split in Oceania.

As for the original image and my subsequent explanation, now here is a visual demonstration; explaining what I see:

I am quite young -- there are people who have lived longer than I have. I would be genuinely surprised if I am the first person on the planet, to notice such a pattern.

[lordmissus]

Russia is/was a Superpower, and it is both the head and body of one of these monsters. Africa is the foot -- African natives were taken to the New World (america) in the 17th Century to work as slaves. Australia was originally proclaimed as a place where convicts and other 'undesirables' were dumped in, taken from Britain. Britain initiated the Triangular Trade, as did they ship prisoners off to Australia.

Australia and Africa are the feet. In other words, the pillar. An they were either sources for slave traders, or dumping grounds that prisoners would go to.

Russia is a super power, and was one of two main countries in the Cold War.
On the other monster, the US is the body. Alaska is the head; Alaska is part of the US. The US was the other side in the cold war, and is (and was back then) a Superpower.

Venezuela is at the very base of the stinger, and Hugo Chavez was a thorn in the side of George W. Bush. Thorn.
Mexico is at the bottom (the rectum) below the US; Mexico is a dumping ground for big US oil companies and other corporations.

The KGB wolf.

Well, being an aspie

You mean a high-functioning autistic. Asperger's syndrome is no longer recognized as a unique disorder.

[paulguy]

You don't have magical aspie super powers or anything like that. Most people would notice patterns like that if they cared, but they're not interested in crap like that. They care about more useful patterns.

Of course there have been aspies in the past that have found patterns and whatno others overlooked, but overall, someone can just be hard-working and not require having a disability to do certain things well.

[lordmissus]

Perhaps that part was unnecessary. It seems that my mention of it with regards to the pattern that I noticed, was needless. It seems to have served as a distraction, in which case I will cut straight to the beat.

What do you all think of the pattern?

[lordmissus]

The first one, not the second one with the rabbit.

[paulguy]

Seems like something I would notice when I was in elementary school, bored, looking around the room.

or high on glue

[badinsults]

Lordmissus, you should really lay off the acid.

As much I don't agree with you sometimes, I agree. Wasn't it removed in DSM V or something?

Proposed for revision.

My understanding is it was removed entirely in the latest edition, though it's been filed as a subset of autism for a while now.



I admit to trolling him, though.
I know a lot of self-diagnosed cases of Asperger's Syndrome are worn as a badge of pride, and assume Lordmissus is one such due to the use of the shorthand "aspie" to describe himself.
And "now the medical community says we're just autistic, how dare they steal a part of my identity!" blew up like crazy when it was first announced they were removing use of the specific label.
So I was seeing if I could goad him into a reaction.

Yeah that's always annoyed me. It's like they skimmed the wikipedia page on aspergers, saw the part about higher intelligence and problem solving skills and then they lept to the conclussion that if they say they have aspergers, then we're all going to assume they're fucking Rain Man.

[badinsults]

The people I know with high functioning austism aren't social misfits like Lordmissus. They have their peculiarities, but I doubt they would have the time to go on about how some arbitrary shorline looks vaguely like an animal.
