The Map 2

Shown here is a map upon which is drawn a polygon of the largest area where the points are places I've been. It is more informative and more colorful than my previous attempt at displaying the range of my travels.

A Rather Revealing Map

So I thought to get back on the subject of interesting maps...

Notice the ENTIRE CONTINENT OF AFRICA there around Kentucky. Anyway, I think this map send a clear message to the rest of the world: "Hey, you can probably get away with polluting a lot more, cuz even then you won't be half as bad as us." Ok, I'm kidding, but seriously you have to ask yourself why we let this continue.

Word Fun

Occasionally I get interested in word puzzles and oddities. A few months ago I was on a hunt for flippable compound words such as these...

houseboat | boathouse
handoff | offhand
gunshot | shotgun
outsell | sellout
hangover | overhang
layout | outlay
huntsman | manhunts
workout | outwork
sidetrack | trackside
oversleep | sleepover
guesthouse | houseguest
outbreak | breakout
outlook | lookout
outwork | workout
layover | overlay
Passover | overpass
sleepover | oversleep
bucksaw | sawbuck
overturn | turnover
bookwork | workbook
woodworm | wormwood

I think I have them all, but it would be incredible if you could come up with another one.

If you get bored of that, there is always this puzzle. It took me probably 15 minutes to figure it out. After which I felt dumb for not getting it sooner. Can you do it?

Random:
"The five boxing wizards jump quickly" is one of the shortest sentences that uses all the letters of the alphabet.

In Turkish there is this one:
Pijamalı hasta yağız şoföre çabucak güvendi.
(The patient in pajamas trusted the swarthy driver quickly)
