Interesting tidbits from the world wide web.
National Gas Map
As the cost gets disturbingly closer to $3.00/gallon in our area, I’m all for anything to help me save a few cents. We never seem to have one gas station in our area that is consistantly the lowest. It’s a little frustrating. Hopefully this will help some of you also.
Map Gallery of Religion in the US

I found this a while back and I’m just now getting around to posting it. But Earth View is a view of Earth as it would look from the Sun.

I didn’t do too bad, what makes it hard is that the questions are timed and I couldn’t figure out what the actual objective was on a couple of questions until most my time was gone. It takes about 10 minutes to complete the test.
ESPN.com NBA Galaxy
Here’s a pretty cool thing I ran into at espn.com that (sorta) compares NBA players to things in our galaxy
Herman could be ‘biggest bunny’
So it’s a little too early for Easter, but I think someone has found the real Easter Bunny. And if Herman’s not the Easter Bunny, he certainly is big enough to scare the Easter Bunny.

US highest elevation map
I love Google Maps. It’s still just a tad better in my opinion than the new Yahoo! Maps BETA. Both of which are tons better than the now antiquated MapQuest. Anyhow, there are a ton of things users can do with Google Maps. Here’s a cool example I’ve run across. It’s a map showing the highest point in each state in the US:
