Thread Name: BS: Do you know where Iraq is?
Subject: RE: BS: Do you know where Iraq is?
You know when you look at the globe upside down the relative location of Iraq and Iran changes. We used to do rude things like that with maps of different unlabeled countries of the world in college geography class. It's amazing how alian a country can look upside down.

We did even worse things in aerial photography class where students were usually presented a mirrorstereoscope and a pair of overlapping photos which appeared to be 3-dimensional when viewed. Did you know that if you swap the photos you see an inverse 3-dimensional landscape, with rivers running along what appear to be ridges? You would be amazed at the explanations we received for how these features evolved. LOL

So where is Addis Ababa and what does the name of the city mean?
