Pretty fun, but the resolutions seem a little low, unless you just want to print 4x5's? posted by jnrussell at 3:19 PM on July 5, 2011
It's kind of odd, but on the categories bar it's best to click a sub-category, i.e. Animal - Octopodes as opposed to just Animal. posted by lalex at 3:20 PM on July 5, 2011
Sorry, OZ. Guess there just wasn't room for you in the two globe pictures. No offense. posted by Cranberry at 3:41 PM on July 5, 2011

It's wonderful of the guy to add the caveat everywhere that he believes the images are pub domain and free to use, but if he doesn't tell us where they came from then we can't either judge the accuracy of his determination or come to our own conclusions.

Okay, I go to this website, randomly select page 422, see a map of Massachusetts (where I live), click on it, think it has a cool title so I come to post it here, and dubold has beat me to it.
Cool map, though. posted by alms at 7:00 PM on July 5, 2011
