Speaking of which, the 1980 World Book Encyclopedia (and editions from
75-85 or so I guess) had an illustration of a map of a cow, in the 'map'
article. There was a photo of the cow with contour lines on it, and then a
map of the contours. One could probably copy this onto a slide or overhead,
for your talk.
