As an American of Irish Cathoilc descent and a drunk, I demand a new stereotype.

The major take home message from these maps is that Ohio is for Swingers.

The source for the maps is here, and I get the feeling I've seen them on the blue before.

Nice "Novus Ordo" reference on the US and Dictators map.

The Russian map is hilariously accurate to what I hear during family dinners.

Dude, the Russkis have a lotta nerve calling the Irish drunks. Also, why the hell do so many pubgrub places have faux-Irish names? How come you never see one called Trotsky's or Ivan's? Huh?

The penis size map is in inches, right?

This is awesome, but I find it pretty ironic that a website called "topdesignmag.com" posts these as 600x428 pixel graphics. And you click on them and you get... THE VERY SAME 600x428 GRAPHIC! Even the designer goes for 956x637 px for the thumbnails on their website.

So I think here is a much better link.... and Dr Draculator has a good link upthread, too.

Hmmm, I think Virginia's supposed to be the cancer factory and NC is furniture, not the other way around.

Admittedly, there are a lot of minarets in Turkey.

Who maps penis size?

I love that the Spanish prejudice map is about what we think about the Iberian Peninsula and the bloody French*, and what's Europe anyway?

* I actually love France, speak French, and would move to France in a heartbeat if Mrs Kandinski would follow. Not all other Spaniards do.

I'm kind of suspicious about the penis sizes. Not because I have extensive experience with the penises of Europeans (I don't), but because I don't know how the measurements were done. In particular, if men were asked to measure themselves, then this might just be an index of how honest men in different countries are.

Asking a man about his penis size is like asking a fisherman about the one that got away, imho after 32 post pubertal years of existence.

Ooh, and it's MY double.
