Last night I was working on a project with some friends who are NOT
oriented to anything geographical (three of them are salespeople, one is a
bank examiner, one runs a pre-school).  We were talking about getting
Christmas/Hannukah presents and one lady mentioned she'd seen a globe for
sale that was "anatomically correct".  That gave me the giggles and I
thought you guys would like it too.  Of course, what she meant was that the
globe had a relief surface with  mountains and valleys rather than the
usual smooth surface that many globes have.  She has actually bought one
for her four-year-old extremely precocious nephew.  ;-)
 
Happy Holidays everybody!
