Too bad it wasn’t MAPle syrup
Strange Maps does it again! This time, it’s a map of the western hemisphere of the Earth… in jelly.
That’s not bad (click it for the embiggened version). The description at Strange Maps gives you the details.
It’s no Lenin, but it’s impressive.

Man, those sure are some irregular geological features.
Perhaps there is a civilization of sugar based people, inhabiting the sticky prairies of the Jamericas, that feed solely on dirt. We could solve the hunger problem by doing an exchange - our contextual dirt for their contextual dirt.

@BA,
Always like to see the doiling lenin post. It’s the reason I started shopping here and the post I force others to grok.
Heck, the old WMAP has the whole world laid out- look for yourself if you don’t believe it (you may have to strain your eyes a little). I speculate that everyone will see his/her own world laid out in their own versions, though the layout may not be temporally synchronous (plus or minus a few dozen million years off perhaps?).
I also speculate that the more finely detailed these maps become the more they will converge on the face of….Ben Stein!
