I hope this helps you get here if you're rowing.

867838 2010-03-17 01:15:00 For years I have argued that the map of the world has been displayed arse about face.

As depicted in the link above, the world should be viewed from space with New Zealand on top.

I mean, look at all that land area and weight just sitting there. Natural physics dictates that the heaviest part of the earth MUST drop to the bottom :)

867840 2010-03-17 01:48:00 I used to have a tea towel with NZ at the centre of a world map.
It was so popular that press-ganged dish-dryers always reached for that one first.
So it wore out faster than the rest, alas - and was ignominiously recycled into a cleaning rag.

Similar to that, Terry, except mine was in glorious technicolour.

867845 2010-03-17 05:10:00 Jeez - I saw one of them in the Museum Of Natural History in Washington DC. on a school tour in 1960, and since I knew it was inaccurate, I busted the glass case and tore it up.

Actually a lot of British tourists were there that day and they gave me a standing ovation.

The museum guards however were not as pleased.
