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. Though the art is supposedly "By A Lady," I'd suspect it was actually created by a lovelorn and cynical man. » 11/17/11 6:45pm 11/17/11 6:45pm

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?

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.

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. » 1/31/11 4:20pm 1/31/11 4:20pm

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. » 1/24/11 5:57pm 1/24/11 5:57pm
