Here is a map that is the only map you will ever need ever again in your entire map. Delete all your Google Map links, burn all your Rand McNally maps and take that stupid globe and chuck it in the dumpsters. Because none of those maps include goats and are therefor entirely irrelevant.
This English town looks like a dick.
You can make all the jokes you want about nerds who overly fixate on their fandom of choice, but every once in awhile, the fans pull out an epic win that none of us can ignore.

As a companion to "Six Decades of the Most Popular Names for Girls," the map above shows the most popular names for boys, by state, from 1960 to 2012.

Can you judge a state by its PornHub keyword searches? Sure. Why not. And guess what? Right now you're probably surrounded by people into MILF massage.
Conservatives love to claim that abortion is at the root of every problem in the country. High divorce rates? Abortion! Decline of moral standards? Abortion! The success of Glee? Definitely abortion.

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.)
Just what we needed! A guide to finding the biggest dicks. Size queens, book your tickets to Congo and Ecuador. Check out a larger (heh) version here.
Which cities and states are the most profane? Daniel Huffman decided to find out for himself, and to share the results in convenient heat-map form. And it looks like the Southeast needs to wash its mouth out with soap.
