from the creative genius behind making a graph of everybody's political compass scores comes an amazing new idea - an electronic map with little e-pins in it to show where the residents of the general forum live.

simply click on this link (http://www.frappr.com/nsgeneral) and 'add yourself'.


any bets on how the distribution will be skewed?

man, there doesn't seem to be a good way to show the entire world at once (to accomodate those crazy aussies) without having a massive antarctica take up half the map. so i guess that means you guys will just have to scroll around.

I bet that 98% of NS lives in some remote Scandanavian village.
Of course the map won't show it, because the conspiracy to hide this knowledge will result in scattering the locations at which people live.
You see, its brilliant, if the map shows my hypothesis to be true, then I have the facts on my side and am right, if the map shows my hypothesis to be wrong, then the facist conspiracy is obviously obscuring the facts and I am still right. There is no way I can possibly be proven wrong!

It is only fair, I told you my zip code. Even if I went out looking for you, I'd have to patrol the entire zip code, searching one by one too see if I could locate you via your IP address. That takes on average 4 days.
Not that I'd know from experience.
And what are the chances that I am really that dangerous? I mean no one really thinks that I am all that violent? Do they?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4373440.stm

Inside the abattoir at Swedish Meats in Linkoping, the cows stood patiently, occasionally nuzzling the lens of our camera.

From there, it was a short walk past the white-walled butchery, down the steps to the basement where the raw material for biogas, slid greasily down a chute.

Still bubbling and burping, and carpeting you with an acrid stench, came the organs and the fat and the guts. Enough, from one cow, to get you about 4km (2.5 miles) on the train.

So one day Kansas and Missouri get in a war. All the Missourians gather at the state line and chuck grenades into Kansas. All the Kansans pick up the grenades, pull out the pins, and throw them back into Missouri.

Yes, when even the voices in your head have schizophrenia, you might be starting to develop a problem.
Funny thing is, I meant to say "computers", but instead said "people", guess that is just one of those common typoes, like "Hello" and "FUCK YOU, ASSHOLES!"

I knew you were joking, you silly Jayhawk ;). We moved around a lot when I was little, my father was a doctor and so he was always moving around to different hospitals. We went from Poland to NYC to Seattle to Kansas City. I don't really mind Missouri THAT much, beautiful state, and Kansas City is actually a nice place to live, lots of stuff to do. :)

I'll agree. My fiancée goes to school in Olathe, so I've spent a lot of time in KCMO. Good symphony, not the best, but good, and I'm from western Kansas, so KC is a great cultural center by comparison. Ate dinner on the Plaza just last weekend. I have not spent as much time around 18th and Vine as I would have liked, though.
