Anthropomorphic maps are generated by configuring the body of a god or goddess over the geographic area to be mapped. The name for each part of that body becomes the name for the area or feature under that
part. The result is a scale 1:1 map-without-paper on which each place name automatically indicates its approximate location and direction with regard to every other place name on the same map.
(1) The navel is the center of the body, the center of the map, and usually the center of the map's language community.
(2) Place names (toponyms) may be reversed, metathesized, misspelled or euphemized for various reasons

Is "Map" to "Geography" as "Map" is to "Ideas"? : "... metaphorical maps are twice metaphorical, forcing us to think of the relations between blogs or words or nations as if those nebulous ideas were things "out there", in the landscape, and then forcing us to imagine that the images in front of us represent those ideas and the relations between them in the same way that a traditional map represents places and the distances between them?
... So fully are spatial metaphors integrated into our thought processes that it becomes really hard to talk or write without using them, often unconsciously
... And maybe that is why most non-geographical maps fail. We are already so used to thinking of ideas in spatial terms that their spatial representation doesn't really tell us anything new. Or maybe it's because, unlike geography, the relations between ideas are always shifting, and more than that, are rarely the same for any two thinkers.
... Sometimes they highlight interesting relations between ideas we might not have thought of as related (though just as often, if not moreso, they fail to reflect relations that are clearly there).
... Mapping seems to be the prefferred way of thinking about and representing data of all sorts, at least in Western culture. Ultimately, I have to ask, what better choices do we have?

Generalization of Marion's theorem: the ratio of the area of the triangle to the area of the hexagon is: 1/8(3n+1)(3n-1).'... perimeter of a hexagon is exactly equal to six times the radius of the circumscribed circle.' What is the name of Piet Hein's new shape?

In a remote village in China hundreds of years ago there lived a wise farmer and his son. The wise farmer was respected in the village and also admired, for he owned a beautiful stallion. One day, the stallion ran away.
The villagers flocked to the old farmer’s home and offered sympathies over the farmer’s loss.
"Oh poor farmer, you must be so sad to have lost your most valuable possession.” “What a terrible thing to have lost your stallion." “What ever will you do?” And so on…
The wise farmer responded, “Indeed, my stallion is missing. This is interesting.”
Weeks passed and still no stallion. Finally, one day, the stallion returned! With it, he brought a beautiful wild mare. The villagers rejoiced. “What good fortune! You not only have your stallion back but a wonderful mare as well! How lucky you are!”
The wise farmer quietly responded, “Indeed, this is interesting.”
The farmer’s son was quite excited about the arrival of the new wild mare and saw it as an opportunity to tame her. The farmer agreed. The time came to try and ride the mare. When the son did, the mare bucked and threw him, breaking his leg. The villagers soon heard of the latest turn of events and came running to the farmer’s home.
“Oh what bad luck!” they agreed. “This is so unfortunate. What will happen if your son cannot work the fields?!”
The wise farmer was his calm self. “This is interesting,” he quietly repeated as he began to prepare for the journey to the doctor, days’ travel away.
Soon after, much to the dismay the villagers, the Chinese army came to town looking to take able-bodied young men to fight the latest bloody war. The farmer’s son was passed over of course, left to heal from his (relatively) minor wound.
“Interesting,” thought the farmer.
