Who doesn’t like Maps? Strange Maps shows you all kind of interesting – weird – bizarre – interesting maps out there. For example the map above:
This map was a promotional e-card for the book "Transit Maps of the World", the caption at the bottom reads: “This playful diagram shows all the cities which have, are building or are planning to construct an urban rail system. It is the opening page of a new book about the graphic design of subway, metro, underground and U-Bahn system maps and diagrams.â€
I also like the Blonde Map of Europe:
It looks like there is the origin of blonde hair.

THIS MAP IS COMPLETELY WRONG, as many people say… I fully agree!
I am a school bus driver here in Spain (Valencia) and I can assure you that MANY of the Spanish kids are blond and light brown/dark blond. People is deeply confused about what they see in the movies (the dark haired dancer, it’s a TOPIC!!) but the real thing is that the EUROPEAN Spaniards are much more lighter. For example…me. When I was a child I was completely blond, but now I am light brown. Another fact is that many people thinks that because Mexicans and people from Central America / south america are dark haired (colonized by Spaniards 500 years ago), then Spaniards are dark haired aswell. People should visit Spain, take a look at the Spanish kids, and they will see than many of them are blond and also blue eyed. So I agree with many people… this map is wrong!
