We're supposedly overdue for a polarity shift, so it may look like that pretty soon.

By pretty soon I mean in next 100,000 years or so.

I thought he was speaking of a city located between Perth and Melbourne.

When will the rest of the world realise that they are upside down?

I love the surnames one. Time zones in Antarctica made me lol. And the chinese literal translations. Actually they were all pretty sweet.

Thanks for sharing that. I adore maps and hadn't come across some of those yet.
