Okay, I think this map projection is pretty cool. It's called the Dymaxion World Map and it was developed by Buckminster Fuller in the 1940s. I like it because you can appreciate the relationship of the continents to one another in a different way than a lot of traditional projections allow. Also, it shows everything kind of crowded on one side of the globe - when you look at it closer you realize that's because of the Pacific Ocean taking up the other side. Also, these maps can be folded up to make a somewhat globe-like figure with all the correct geographic placement.
