When I first saw this photo on The Big Picture I seriously thought it was a set of pie charts on a spreadsheet. It turns out that it’s actually a bunch of roads and circular fields in Egypt.
Exercise ball flip

I’ve seen so many videos of accidents involving exercise balls that it really surprised me when I saw this guy successfully flip off of an exercise ball and land on his feet. Props.
Africa In Perspective: It’s big. Really big.
June 1, 2008 @ 11:55 pm
I’ve always known that Africa was a very big continent. But I didn’t know it was this big! [via]
The African continent is apparently big enough to fit the United States, India, Argentina, Western Europe, and most of China in it’s space! In fact, all together, these 5 countries still do not make up the total square kilometers of Africa.
Anyway, on a related note, if you like maps, you’ll probably love The Times Comprehensive Atlas of the World (11th ed.), available at Amazon.com for $157.50.
I wish I owned this book. If anybody wants to get me an easy gift, this book would be it.
Deal of the Day!
