David: Hello. We're running late. We're running late this
week.
Leila: Yeah, we are. We're on board. We
David: have reasons we do. They may not be good reasons.
Leila: They're somewhat reasons that we apologize. We apologize.
David: I think it'll be okay. I think they Forgive us.
Unknown: Forgive us, right.
David: If you don't forgive us, send us a boost and a modern
podcast. And let us know your bag. If you want to criticize us
for something, that's the best way to do it, because you know,
we're gonna get that message. Anything that has money attached
to it.
Leila: Okay, jumping straight into it right now. Oh my gosh,
saying the topic. All right. Someone was like, You need to
eclipse Leila singing the theme song. And I was like, what? And
apparently last week, we were like
Unknown: Fun Fact. Friday. Friday, Fun.
Leila: Fact, Friday. Okay, so apparently, I sang the theme
song last week.
David: And she didn't remember it didn't remember. She's like,
What
Leila: do you dinner like two days later?
David: What are we talking about? Because I was looking at
every once in a while we'll look at the the SAT machine on
helipad. You know, just periodically throughout the
week, just see what we got going on, you know, and we'll go into
that in the support section towards the end. But it feels
like when, when do I sing the? I'm seeing the theme song what's
going on? And I pulled my phone out and played the episode 4g
Like, oh my God, I didn't remember that. Like that you do.
That's you? That's what you sound like. Alright, so what's
your topic for this week? maps? Maps? What's the song? Maps?
Yeah, yeah. I'm not gonna go in. I'm not gonna know. I am not a
singer.
Leila: I am. But yeah, we're gonna
David: talk about what?
Leila: I'm decent at it.
David: You're decent. I'm decent. You could use some work.
Your tempo gets off sometimes, excuse me, you start singing too
fast. I
Leila: can't Well,
David: you get you got you. Honestly, you do that with some
of your instruments too. And that's why you use a metronome.
Leila: In band class as well. My teacher always gets mad at us
because we can't count. Like, she's so be like, Okay, now
saxophones have to count to eight measures, because that's
how many measures we have before we enter. And we start playing
like a measure early because we can't count.
David: Maybe, maybe I should learn to count. We can't forget
a metronome. They'll have metronomes in there. We do. But
they're really quiet. Oh, gotcha.
Leila: We have the little
David: ones. Can you see them? Or? No? No,
Leila: she needs to put one up on her on her board.
David: Right. All right. So we do have some good news. And
hello. Hello, and welcome.
Leila: Back Bom. Bom, bom, bom.
David: Good news. So Leila's got some news? I believe it is
running. Oh, no.
Leila: I close it out.
David: Auto are good news. We got some personal Good News.
This week. We are going to both be in our local theater
production of A Christmas Carol this here. Yeah, I went in and I
didn't really have a part in mind. I just kinda want to be
part of it, you know, and they asked you what party you
auditioning for it. I'm like, Scrooge Scrooge, because like,
whatever. But I wrote down, you know, I'm willing to take
whatever. But then when we got back there, I remembered during
the story of a Christmas carol, there's a narrator. There's a
narrator I'm like it. There's a narrator. Let me do the narrator
because I'm the writer. That's like my jam. Yeah, that's your
jam. But yeah, I'll be the narrator. And then
Leila: I leave some stage crew, Leila
David: stage crew, which is an onstage character in this
version of the play. So it's like a rewritten comedy. Yeah.
So anyway, that's just some good news from us. We went in
auditioned and Bingo Bango got departs. So, yeah, so Leila,
what's your good?
Leila: Yes. What lines about?
David: Dogs? Nope. Running. What? I know it's about
something to do with running because I glanced at
Leila: your screen. So there's this cat, right?
David: What's the cat's name?
Leila: What's Casper now? Okay, I read the whole thing. But the
there's this marathon runner in Chicago. And she is running
marathon, obviously, as you do when you're running the
marathon, and she sees a cat. And she just scoops it up and
runs with the cat for about a mile. And then and then she
finds this girl that wants the cat. So just See this again. And
now the cat is owned by a nice family that adopted her.
David: So a random cat just wandered out onto the marathon
route, apparently, and the runner was like, oh, I want a
cat. And then like after a mouse is like caught I don't want a
cat. Because cats the worst. And then just chuck the cat is
somebody in the audience. Probably. That's what happened.
Oh, no, that's that's what so Casper is now the name. Yeah.
Well, that's cute.
Leila: I know. It's a cute cat.
David: So maps.
Leila: Well, that was a very, like, cut off the best
David: segue. I know. Right? Stop music. Talk about another
topic. Oh, wow. So I found some interesting facts about maps.
What do you find? Well, I found that map for a minute in 1978 by
Joseph map map, when he he had to tell somebody how to get
somewhere and he grabbed a napkin and a marker, which he
had also just invented, map nap. And, and drew drew some lines.
And then like some trees, was like, these are the trees that
you're gonna see. Keep those on your left, and they're gonna
boom, map. First map.
Leila: But as trees didn't look like trees, we had a little
thing at the top that said trees said trees and then drew the
little tree.
David: And then he called that the legend. Oh, boom, legendary,
legendary. So no. I think it's I think it's interesting that
there's been so many messed up maps over the years. Yeah. So
I'm gonna I'm gonna go into all that I've got like a whole a
whole deep dive into weird things on maps.
Leila: He does, like I heard a video. Like someday. And it was
about like, this island. So
David: there's an island in the Gulf and the Gulf of Mexico.
That doesn't currently exist. What? But yeah, did exist? Or,
or didn't they put it on a map? For border reasons? We were
gonna say, for boredom reasons for boredom reasons. No,
because, like, the oil rights and mineral rights and stuff
like that of the ocean, are based on distance from the
coastline. So like, if if you're in the Gulf of Mexico, and you
go X amount of miles away from the coast of America, just any
anyone that goes from America, you go so many miles into the
ocean, we can drill for oil and whatever else we're going to do
in that water. And it's ours. Right? Well, if there's an
island that belongs to us within that, that area, it extends the
border out even further. So if there's an island, a big big
island, that extends our border, that gives us more more reign
over the oil and natural resources in those waters. So
putting islands on maps, like official maps that aren't
actually there. You can lay claim to areas that are not sure
it's really nerd, right. No, yeah. Okay. So I'll try and find
that video. I didn't, that wasn't actually part of my show
prep. I'm writing on a piece of paper because I can't find my
boogie board. I think it's the house. I learned because the CI
O M, go from Mexico. Okay, I'll try and find that put in the
show notes. It was a very interesting video.
Leila: We're gonna be right in the show notes. Anything like
Island Gom?
David: What is Island golf? I'm just not gonna put in the show
notes. Nobody looks at these things anyway. No, there's
places that don't exist on maps. That's one of the instances or
something like that. But back in the past, the map makers were
just like, assume things. Just like, man, we got we got the map
really good and accurate up to this point. But that's like
another 100 miles to the coast. Let's just draw some stuff. And
they'll correct it later. If so there was a back in the 17, late
1700s, there was a map of one of the first maps of AP Africa
featured a massive mountains of calm that was a mountain range.
And that didn't exist. But it was on all the maps for like 100
years or so. And I'm like, I'll talk about more of those in a
little while. But one of the other reasons things will exist
on a map is because of like copyright reasons. A map maker
will painstakingly map out an area and do a really good job
and they don't want somebody else just coming by redrawing In
a different color and putting their own name on it, and then
I'd be mad. Yeah, I'd be mad if somebody was copying my hard
work. Yeah, how they make maps with a pen and paper. No map
making. I mean, that's the basic way of doing it. It's like math
bars that no 100 feet just draw draw, just not to scale every
fine cartography is a long and storied tradition with lots and
lots of different techniques of doing it nowadays pretty much
all satellite data. Yeah. Which is boring. has to get out there
compass and sextant and, and do surveys and all that stuff. But
Oh sir.
Leila: Oh, when's the last time you've been five miles to the
left?
David: Did you see anything? Did you see anything? What did it
can you draw it for me? No, but mapmakers will put fake towns
Leila: did you get the joke? No. Surveying. Awesome
David: I don't have a terrible joke. C for loud, what the heck
was a sound board now?
Leila: I got a sound board now.
David: Um, well, no, they put they put they put fake towns on
maps. Yeah. Because they they want to catch people copying
them. Yeah, it's I mean, it's pretty simple, but effective
technique. Yeah. Just like if somebody's copying you. They're
like, oh, oh, you know. That's an old technique that was used
by I don't know if it was ever. I'm sure it was. But like you
tell something false. to three different people. If you knew
one of them was like, giving that information to other people
that are supposed to be secret. It's how you can like find out
who doesn't keep secrets? Well, as you give them a good, juicy
piece of gossip, that's not true. And then you give your
other two friends. Yeah, different. Different but similar
gossip. Yeah. And then, so like, if I'm like, Alright, if I've
got you know, Annabelle, Billy and Carl, ABC, and I give
Annabella say, Hey, Sally. Sally, Sally doesn't wear
deodorant. And then I tell I forgot the names. I used to
Billy Sally has head lice. And then you got to the third one.
And it's like, a Sally doesn't clean your ears out. You know?
Like, you gotta let your wax Hey, you really been late,
Sally. Well, yeah, you just, you're just picking a different
thing. And then a rumor starts spreading around and Sally has
earwax. You know that Carl's the one. That's a big mouth. Right?
Yeah. So anyway, that's just a little technique you can use to
weed out the rats. But But yeah, yeah. So yeah, they put the fake
towns in. They call them bunnies. For some reason.
Phantom settlements are Paper Towns. Yeah. Yeah.
Leila: So you know, the north.
David: The north. Yeah.
Leila: There's two north
David: on the king of the north. King of the Hill. And now king
of the north. It's a it's a Game of Thrones thing. Anyway.
Whatever the north
Leila: the North? I did didn't Did you make yourself? Oh, my
gosh, what's up with the North? Go ahead. Go. So did you I can't
even think, okay, it's the geographic north is the North
that we've been told as the north the whole time. Right, you
know, like the one of the very top of the globe, the globe?
Yeah. That is one north. But the geomagnetic North is the one
that your compasses point to. So if you like if you follow your
compass, which I wouldn't recommend because it's like
ocean there. But
David: if you just keep going, yeah,
Leila: there's gonna be ocean there. Well, the geomagnetic
North like changes a bunch.
David: Yeah. moves. Yeah, like wiggles around. What
Leila: do you think of it just like, did you do just like
wiggling? Well,
David: there's there's some like speculate because like, you
know, the all the iron in the earth. Like it and then like,
there's the plates. When like stuff moves. So the magnetic nor
any, it's a whole movement, so I don't know what any of it means.
Well, okay, so like the insides of the earth. Determine where
the magnetism is, right? Like the stuff going on inside the
earth like snow. Yeah. You think it's just a bunch of magnets.
Yeah, no. Okay, well, we're not going that deep into it on Fun
Fact Friday. Just this doesn't matter. Oh no, like magnetic
north moves because of like magma inside the Earth shifting
Leila: its magnetic
David: we're not going to go that deep into it. Unless you
want to we can do like an addendum at the end of this
episode if you want to dig into it. And like learn on the while
we're recording. I don't know if we can figure it out right now.
But okay, go for it. Look it up. We like why is the Earth's
magnetic north moving? Why? Magnetic? So while she's doing
that, I'm going to talk about how North isn't always up. Like
north we just kind of like always, oh, yeah, I was gonna
say that too. But we always put maps with North being at the
top. But that hasn't always been the case. During the Middle
Ages, most western maps had east at the top of the map. And they
had like, there's this 13 Year 1300 map by Christian map, a
moody Apple Moon map map. Map. We got the cities today it's
because it's Friday off of school. And we're you know,
anyway, East was at the top and then towards the Garden of Eden
with Jerusalem in the center. So that was the map of that area.
And Latin Latin, the word East is Oregon's. So if you're
holding the map correctly, you had to orient it. So hard to
learn. That's putting the east at the top. And then yeah, so
that's that's actually where the word orientation comes from.
Because you would orient the map. There's a NAT, what are you
doing?
Leila: There's a NAT,
David: there's a NAT and Nat, I need to know, I need to spray
around the studio from space.com space.com.
Leila: The Earth's magnetic field is generated by
interactions in its molten outer core as the following iron
generates electric currents.
David: That's exactly what I said. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly.
Word for
Leila: word word for word. Now it makes your magnetic field
it's constantly changing.
David: Yep. And north north and south pole, magnetic north can
it can actually swap? And apparently, yeah. They say they
say that this happened 70 or 780,000 years ago. And I'm like,
you know, I can? I can I can take. I can take so much word on
people about what happened a while ago. But when you're
talking about almost a million years ago, we don't know. We
don't know. They're guessing that's a guess they don't care.
It could be 779,000 years ago. They can be off by 1000 years.
They should say we think is well all I'm saying we think the last
time this epic. You know, and that's fine. That's a perfectly
good statement to say we think that this happened around
780,000 year but they're saying it as if they know exactly what
happened
Leila: happened 500,500 6342 years ago on October the third
on
David: October the third. Exactly. Well, yeah, exactly. as
well. Like we're using different calendars now. So they wouldn't
even be able to exactly anyway anywho anywho we think needs to
be added to more of these articles as all I'm saying. Or
we're pretty sure if they're pretty sure. Okay, so here's
another fun interesting thing that I found out about maps. You
ready? What Okay Oh, I see. Hold on just Hold on No, no. Okay.
Throughout medieval times in Europe most maps of the world
known as map a Mooney that wasn't a person's name that I
was talking about earlier. So not alone D were maps of the
world. So in that other
Unknown: name oh, my god map of MOON
David: Okay, any anyway, let's get back to it. During World War
Two, this is this is cool. This is what I was. I was I was right
in early World War Two they made silk maps and they hid them
along with fake money mixed with real money and game pieces all
in Monopoly boxes. And you put the game pieces some of the game
pieces were working compasses so they would they take a monopoly
box right? And they put a soak map in it like the game Yes, the
Monopoly game the game. Okay during World War Two, so like
they take a monopoly box from the store, they go to town
Target or whatever World War Two target was. And they will buy a
copy of monopoly, right? They cut it open. They take out some
of the fake money and put real money in it. And then they would
put a silk map. Why would they cut it open? Just calm down. And
they put a map in there. And then they put a compass in
there. And then they'd seal it back up. Right. And these
special games were sent to war camps. Yeah. And like, for the
you know, for the guys that send over Hey, you guys, you know, we
are trapped in there. Yeah. Here's a couple of monopoly
games. Wink, wink. And then that would help the prisoners escape
because they had maps of where they were and compasses if they
got out. They could, you know, that's cool. Yeah, it was
pretty, pretty neat little tactic.
Leila: Little tactic. That's really cool. I'm gonna look it
up now.
David: Want to hear a whole story about the monopoly escape?
Leila: We get in fact site because you already read all
those. amount about it?
David: Did you? Did you open the same site I was on and then
yeah, get mad. So I like there's a there's a clip. I think it was
from the show westwing where this guy is talking about how we
use different projection maps. And none of them are actually
correct, because you can't.
Leila: Okay. So there's Yeah. Assizes.
David: Yeah, the sizes are incorrect. Yeah. Okay.
Leila: There's this website. Size map. I don't know what it
called map size map site, where it shows you different ways that
the map actually is the true size of.com I think, oh, oh,
yeah.
David: You can like you can like grab Australia and drag it over
America. Yeah.
Leila: Yeah. Okay. Let's see. Yeah, yeah. Because it the way
that maps work, it shows
David: it stretches, stretches and squishes
Leila: it stretches and squishes. And because the Earth
is round, and they want to put that into rectangle form. That's
not really how that works. You know?
David: Yeah. One of the map sites I was reading says that
the hobo Dyer map is their their favorite for accuracy if you're
using a rectangular map, and it kind of like stretches out
things at the equator, and squishes things at the poles
like they actually are. And it looks unsettling, but it's
actually more accurate than the I think Mercator projection is
what we're currently use. I think I think as in the Mercator
projection, Greenland is almost as big as Africa.
Leila: Yeah, Africa
David: is not it is not Africa.
Leila: Okay. So you can fit like the entirety of America. Like I
mean, North America, yeah. Inside of Africa,
David: take all lice all of North America and insert it and
like the size wise you you can fit two of them and Africa. And
also you can fit an entire copy of Africa into Africa. That's
how big it is. So
yes, a cassette copy of todos Africa.
Leila: Just two Americas in Africa.
David: We have like three cassette tapes. We have three
cassette days. One of them is toto and the other Africa song
on it.
Leila: We have Africa by Toto, we have a blank cassette tape,
and we have Nirvana nevermind, which is currently being used by
my friend. So we have to.
David: So speaking about things on maps that aren't real or
misrepresented. There used to be a map in the 1500s that had the
island of California.
Leila: I want to old map these look super cool. Yeah,
David: but old maps are expensive. But here's here's the
key copy and old map. We can print them ourselves because we
have no we can we have canvas paper for the printer. It would
look super Yeah. You didn't know. All right. Yeah. Got it at
the treasure hunt place. We can coffee stain that too. So it
looks nice and old. We can make it look super old. We can like
put it outside. But yeah. So in early, excellent explorations of
California. It was rumored to be a lush tropical island off the
west coast of North America. Is this a lost island? No, it's
California. But I guess when they got to it, they got to the
part. You know how like California has the Baja
California Peninsula, down in Mexico. So I'm guessing They
came to the Gulf of California and went across it and they
thought like,
Leila: there's a gulf of California. Yeah. What?
David: Oh my gosh. Okay. Oh my gosh, I believe you, Jesse. Oh,
yeah. It's part of Mexico. That's why you never see this
little guy exists. Yeah, it's a peninsula. Yeah. So my guess is
they came up to the Gulf of California, and then went over
to California. And they just assumed that it was an island
because as far as they could see, north or south it was there
was separated by water. So there's a lot of maps in that
time periods that have California as being an island.
They were ahead of their time. Yeah. Because it's gonna break
the ocean. And then Australia, in Thomas muslins, 18/27 book,
The Friends of Australia, it depicts a massive river system
in the interior of the continent. Because basically, he
just didn't want to actually explore and map it properly. And
he made a bunch of assumptions and but mountain ranges that
weren't there and rivers that weren't there and I'd like a
little map. And I actually liked this map of Australia. It's it
says, the northern part is called australind.
Leila: And then angle A
David: Candia in Canada is
Leila: like a roller coaster. It's a roller coaster ride. Oh
my gosh.
David: But yeah, these are on the go. geomatics.ca website.
Just cool. Cool stuff. And then another thing they used to put
on maps all the time was sea monsters. Yes. But yeah, it was
basically just like people, the guys on the ships used to talk
about sea monsters. So the map guys were like, Yeah, put some
sea monsters out here. That'd be cool. They get tired of drawing
little triangles or mountains and draw a squiggly Snake Man.
Leila: Oh, this website has actual names for some Paper
Towns.
David: Okay, Fire Map me.
Leila: We got Carmine, Pennsylvania. juxtapose Oregon.
Point Pleasant, Indiana.
David: That sounds real though. This may sound real. I guess
that's the point.
Leila: Yeah. Relevant. Florida. Sandy Island, New Caledonia. I
don't believe that exist. Scarlet Scarlet Nebraska. Steve
landing Illinois. tubs see Washington white wall
California.
David: Yeah, so if you find out what map that those are on,
don't ya? Buy a copy of that map? And when people ask you
where you're from, be like, oh, yeah, I'm from stone field. What
it was. Point Point Pleasant point. Pleasant, Indiana. Yeah.
Be like, Hey, I'm from Point Pleasant, Indiana, and then show
on the map. And then later on, when they look it up later.
They'll be like, Oh, my gosh, is this guy the Mandela effect?
Unknown: If you were if you
David: were from somewhere and they saw it on a map, and then
like later on, they can't find it. They'd be like, what's going
on? Okay, I have one more thing.
Leila: Oh, the Mandela Effect. Oh, my gosh, I didn't know what
you meant. I remember this
David: is why we do the show on Thursday nights. Because your
brain hasn't gone into weekend mode yet. My weekend
Leila: started on Monday. Really?
David: So okay, I'm always the weekend mode. Talking about the
Mercator projection. Mercator was a map guy like he drew maps
and stuff, right. And he has this one map from 1606 of the
North Pole. And it's super interesting. And I'm just gonna
read the article. This is from gogeomatics.ca. Did you know
California that explorers believed the Earth's magnetic
north inclination was due to a gigantic magnetic rock located
at the North Pole. There off at Roswell. I think the rock was
just listen this listen to the whole story. It's really cool,
and it makes me want to dig deeper into it. This rock was
often depicted on maps as a large black mountain at the
geographic North Pole. It was said to be 33 legs across and
stand directly at the top of the globe surrounded by giant
whirlpools that drained the Earth's ocean into its core.
Leila: That's so cool.
David: It was included on Mercator Arctic projection, as
seen below and then there's a picture of it and and it looks
really interesting, because if you're looking down straight on
the center of it, there's this big black mountain. And then
there's a circle of water around it. And then there's water
coming out north, south, east and west. And there's four
continents around it, and then the oceans and what we recognize
now is what it would look like if you were looking down. Okay,
so these whirlpools were said to be inescapable for those who
dare to venture too close and had previously been written
about by Mercator in 1577, and letters to the famous
mathematician John D. This quote discovery was conveniently
provided a solution to why compasses point north, the first
modern explorers reached the North Pole is in the early 20th
century, which it sounds like they went there in the 15th
century anyway. And as we know, the northward orientation of
compasses is due to the magnetic field generated through a
complex process within the core of the planet and not by giant
magnet situated at the poles. So, okay, I want to read more
about this Mercator, talking about this big mountain at the
North Pole, because who knows, maybe they filled up like in
first
Leila: grade, and I was just learning about the magnetic
field of the Earth. I was like, There's got to be a magnet
there.
David: Got to be a big old magnet sticking out. And you
know, in your brain when you're that young, you see it as this
huge U shaped magnet where one is red and one and that was the
original sticking, sticking out of the year. And they go U
shaped mag. couple miles.
Leila: I like the comic magnets, right.
David: Yeah, like the madness. Oh, I guess I used to have one
of those. Nothing. Cool is because I had a U shaped magnet.
I would. I don't remember. I don't don't ever think you had
any of the U shaped like the comically large U shaped magnet
that I had. So what else do you have? Leila?
Leila: I don't know. I was looking at this site. This is
literally just a copy of the other site.
Unknown: I hate it when they do that. Yeah.
Leila: Let's see Fact File. Ooh, guru. So cartography, you know,
it's the study of maps. Making map making Yeah, this is a lame
fact. It's just telling you what to cartographers.
David: Well, that's a piece of information that I didn't know
until I was in my late teens. So oh, now, you know, yeah, no, I
know. You know, I learned what I was playing a video game called
Ultima Online. And cartography was one of the jobs skills. And
I was like, what? Cartography what is that? So I looked it up,
and found out where it was. And then I decided not to do it.
Because that sounded really lame thing to do in a video game. I
ended up learning how to shoot like fire bolts out of a wand or
something.
Leila: Cartography and typography.
David: And the funny part is, in that game, I actually found out
that becoming a furniture maker was one of the best things you
could do. I made so many chairs. So yeah, I mean, I find that
super interesting. Yeah. About the fact about dealing with the
fact that we found I like, yeah, like the fun the obscure maps
and the stuff like that. We talked about North being north,
right? Why is it north in the east? Yeah. Well, as it says,
like, that's always baffled me. Because like, the earth, if it's
floating in space, as a ball, and you jump off of it, like
real high, and you'll look at it, there is no north, south,
east or west, there's just the ball. Because depending on how
you're oriented, floating in space, north north is whatever
you you know, I mean, there's no, we've just kind of all
agreed without anybody saying it. The north is up. So if you
ever want to mess with your own head a little bit, take a world
map and flip it upside down and look at it, like close your
eyes, flip it upside down, and then open it and look at it.
It'll, it'll melt your brain will have
Leila: seen it. I saw that in Vsauce. One time. Yeah. Because
he was like, you know, why is north up? Just like turn the
