19 trillion maps of the united states - fake is the new real
Page shows one of nineteen trillion simple maps of the United States, will show a different map the next time loaded.

A well-known theorem proves that with only four colors, any simple map of can be drawn so that no color touches itself. The next step is to ask how many ways there are to accomplish this simple task. For the contiguous United States, there are over nineteen trillion different maps that use only four colors. Even the tightest constraints can yield near-infinite variety.

London V2 Rocket Sites...Mapped
"Autumn 1944, and London was under attack from space. Hitler's 'vengeance' rocket, the V-2, was the world's first ballistic missile, and the first man-made object to make a sub-orbital spaceflight. Over 1400 were launched at Britain, with more than 500 striking London. The 13 tonne rocket impacted at over 3000 miles per hour. There was no warning; the missile descended faster than the speed of sound and survivors would only hear the approach and sonic booms after the blast." For reference the next time you read Gravity's Rainbow.
