    Default Stragne Maps

    The Daily Mail is one of the UK’s more euroskeptic newspapers, so it must have been with much delight that they were able to present this map to their readers on September 4th, 2006. For it falls straight into the category of the “what the heck are those loony Eurocrats in Brussels cooking up now” category of stories. The Daily Mail wastes no efforts to underline this angle:

    It is a large page but loads quick on broadband

    From the article:
    Yes, you’ve noticed that word jumping out of the text: not European, but German mapmakers. No wonder cartography rhymes with Kartoffelbraten. Sneaky Gerry bastards!
    That's not the only thing that they're being sneaky about.

    Well the seppos have got their own idea of a world map.

    Everyone knows that Australia being 'down under' is just a myth, especially after that time we got drunk.
