Good Friday, Part 4

For the record, I’d like to see the rest of the world on the same scale.

Evolution Map

This obviously comes from Scientific American, but I got it from the always interesting Strange Maps.

It kind of saddens me to see that “marred by creationist jargon” tag on Massachusetts though. I do kind of think of Boston and environs as a relatively well-educated place. (Of course, when I go there I hang out with techies or readers–I might get a different impression at a Celtics game, or if I hung out with my people in Southie.)

I was kind of having fun poking religion with these posts until I read some of the comments at the Strange Maps entry. Now I’m just depressed. Maybe I’ll stop for a bit and see if my snark is back tomorrow.

    Weird to see Indiana as a patch of Exemplary in a sea of Useless. Sad to see that NYS is merely Satisfactory. Sigh.

    My experience has been that outside of that little tail that goes out to the ocean, New York State has more in common with Vermont and Maine than you might expect–know what I’m saying?
