SteveThaiBinh Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Bizarre new atlas comes to the Great Land of the Tattooed An atlas with all the names changed to reflect their literal meanings - a very nice idea! Here you can see the Northland of the Home Ruler: And here is the Great Land of the Tattooed: "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
Slowtrain Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Its like a map in the front of one the all-too-many bad fantasy novels. lol. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

Gorth Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 I must have the world edition of that atlas. It really sounds like a badly designed fantasy world! “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
Slowtrain Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 Breast Hill Castle. Umm, what? Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board.

Walsingham Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 Portugal's true name is "Booty Call". Fact. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
LadyCrimson Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 Interesting...akin to the meanings behind our human names. I guess Oakland was named for having a lot of oak trees or something...not much change there, hah. “Things are as they are. Looking out into the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.” – Alan Watts
Shryke Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 Breast Hill Castle. Umm, what? it'd be interesting to find out some of the english translations for some Maori place names here in NZ i mean, what the hell does Whakatane mean? or Tauranga? when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!
