I have once seen a funny map of the world according to the french. Does anyone have anything like that handy? When I search the web I only find something similar for the americans, which is funny as well, but not useful for me at the moment.

Any speedy help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry capitan. I don´t think anyone wants to touch this request after the Iwo jima thread.

Well here is a look at the REAL map of the world.

What are those bits of land along the bottom, Raver?

Wow, it's amazing how small Australia actually is when seen from the "proper" perspective! [:D]

If so, if anyone has a map like that, feel free to PM me! I need it on friday for my class on France, as a gimmick. As said any help would be greatly appreciated.

Small ? Ha ! You could fit all of europe and the middle east into OZ and still have room left over.

Ah ! Those bits of land along the bottom would be those pesky "Southerners"

Yea, but on the Mercator projection maps we usually see here in the "states" Australia looks bigger than all of Asia(well almost....so I exaggerated a little for effect)!

I wasn't poking fun at you "downunderers" [:D], it was an underhanded poke at that Mercator guy, whoever he was.

Best plan ever

We did. It was called post-war migration. We're having a crack at Asia and Africa now. One or two problems but our food's a lot better! Plus I've always fancied dusky, exotic chicks...so no complaints on that front either. [:'(]

Cheers, Neilster

You are not kidding about the food. I've been to much of the world but the food in Adelaide was among the best I've ever tasted.

Adelaide !   You missed the best place............MELBOURNE !

Please enlighten an ignorant Yank.

I was under the apparently mistaken impression that OZ was the mythical, mystical place the twister carried Dorothy and Toto off to.

Better yet there was an HBO or Showtime series of life in the slammer and the joint was called "OZ". In Tinman OZ stands for Outer Zone.

Very appropriate emoticon there Hans, only I don't recall Dorothy doing in spin-dancing therein, but I could be wrong. Surely there must be a WoO historian among us? What are we to do if we do not?

I may not be a WoO historian but any child of the 40's and 50's can tell you of the enchantment of seeing the House spin off into the air with Margret Hamilton changing into the Wicked Witch of the West from the nasty schoolteacher in black and white and suddenly being greeted by a color version of OZ!! Magical! After having to use our imagination for so many years [:)] (Book 1900, Film 1939 re-released 1949, 55, & Color TV 1956) So tis only a figure that Dorothy and Toto did the spinning though they were in a spinning house and can be said to have spun without contradiction.
