Oct 26 2007Make The World The Way You Want It
The Blackboard Globe from MUJI is exactly what it sounds like, sort of. It's actually just a spherical blackboard (blackball?) with a wooden stand. You're supposed to draw the planet on it. No word on how big it is, but they cost about $14 and come with chalk. I actually want one. Geekologieland would pretty much take up the whole thing, and include all my favorite landmarks -- Cleavage Canyon to the north, the River of Bourbon to the east, the Stripper Sea to the west, and my personal favorite, Vagina Island, just a hair to the south.

it would be even more awesome if the globe was coated with one big magnetic surface, and the consumer would be able to cut out (using an X-acto knife of sorts) their own countries. Fun with Plate Tectonics: see your own world evolve after billions of years!
(sorry.... thinking like an ID student.)
that one was free.
