American Antiquarian's latest exhibit "Beauty, Virtue, & Vice: Images of Women in Nineteenth-Century American Prints" features this map called "The Open Country of a Woman's Heart" by D. W. Kellogg.

Slacktory brings us this map of each state's top Netflix rentals. It's funny how many states coincide with movies about them — Braving Alaska, Montana Sky, The Oh In Ohio, The Alamo — so why is Maine's #1 choice is My Own Private Idaho? Oh, and Mississippi — Beverly Hills Chihuahua? You should ashamed of yourself. More »

Here's a neat visualization of the many, many judgements we pass off onto each other, courtesy of Christoph Neimann for the New York Times Magazine. I'll admit to being guilty of a few of the Manhattan-centric neighborhood stereotypes. Stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason, I guess. More »

The above is a map Peter Trachtenberg created of his cats' movements around his home, using a Google Earth projection and a template of kitty paw-prints. The result kind of looks like a treasure map, if the treasure were a piece of lint, or the shadow of a cockroach, or an imaginary jaguar, or whatever else cats are ineffectually chasing all the damn time.

As a companion guide to the penis travelogue, here is a breast cup size map. You know what would really be helpful? An interactive overlay detailing where to find excellent bras. Comfortable support is so elusive! Do the Russians and Norwegians know something we don't? (As always, click to enlarge, heh.) More »

Some of these aren't actually embarrassing (the worst thing about Ohio is its high number of library visits?), but it'll be nice to have this on hand the next time one state gets uppity about its education rankings. Explanations here. More »

An online phone retailer claims women are more attracted to men with iPhones, and while their research is obviously flawed, I'm ashamed to say it may have a grain of truth. More »

The Trust For America's Health released a report detailing obesity rates in each state (at left). It's interesting how closely it resembles a poverty map. The beer map? That's another story. [Sociological Images, US News & World Report, Buzzfeed] More »

A new survey of Canadian drivers has found that men ask for directions when lost more often than women: 71% of male drivers expressed a willingness to ask for directions as opposed to 44% of women. Good for Canadian guys and disproving old stereotypes, but what's up with that low percentage of women asking for directions? [UPI] More »

Where should the quarter million excess single women of New York move when they finally figure out how to get a job elsewhere? Richard Florida, the overrated sociologist or pop economist or whatever who wrote the Rise of the Creative Class — an academic treatise on gays and how they make cities more fun to live in, duh — has finally contributed something truly worthwhile to humanity, which is to say, a helpful map illustrating just how big and bad the male/female ratio is in metropolitan areas throughout the United States. (Jump to view the whole wide depressing motherfucker!) Apparently it's time to move to Seattle. (Think I should send my resume to Dan Savage?) And where were all those desperate dudes when I lived in LA? Oh right, probably working in porn. More »

Strange Maps has discovered the blond map of Europe created by Eupedia.com: it illustrates which countries have the greatest percentage of fair-haired citizens. Not surprisingly, the "core area" of blonds is born around the Baltic Sea, and people get progressively less blond the further away from that core. If you're actually blond, you might have trouble reading the map, but we're putting it after the jump anyway. (J/K people. J/K!). Click on the tag to see. [Strange Maps via Eupedia.com] More »
