Laurel:

The cartograms are fun.  That kind of map used to be very difficult
to make.  Then these physicists at the University of Michigan
developed this computer program.  I forget what they were trying to
do when they developed it.  I know it had nothing to do with maps.

We just received an atlas of these cartograms titled THE ATLAS OF
THE REAL WORLD if you want to see more maps like them.

Wow, what fun.  The manipulated maps could be turned into
interesting Rohrshach tests; I see nasty looking beasts prowling
about!
