[QUOTE="Chesterton, post: 75871124, member: 225709"] I'd always heard that there were visual problems with maps, but I never knew the size difference had to be so extreme. Representing a thing as 3 times bigger than another, when it is actually 3 times smaller, seems not just a distortion, but an alternate reality, lol. Needless to say, this thread has been quite traumatizing to me. My whole life I've believed in the fact that Greenland was the size of Africa, and I behaved accordingly. What other delusions am I laboring under!? My perception of reality is shattered. The walls of my life are crumbling around me. I'm calling my lawyer. I'm going to sue Rand McNally for infliction of emotional distress. [/QUOTE]
