Dr_Alimantado Posted December 26, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted December 26, 2013 Yule (joulu) Goat (pukki) is the literal translation of those two words, although the actual word Joulupukki just means Santa rather than Yule goat. I'm reliably informed that the Swedish one is wrong as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The_Rev Posted January 11, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 11, 2014 Another population density map. This time linked to GDP, but again I think it is always more interesting to see the bits of the world where hardly anybody lives. The empty quarter of North America always surprises me by how big it is, even though I know it's there. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDuck Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 The phantom island of Brasil off the west coast of Ireland. Said to be cloaked in mist, except for one day each seven years when it became visible but still could not be reached - according to Irish myth.

I can remember being slightly surprised when the first photographs of the Earth from space were published, that it looked just like the maps.
