So close to Towel Day. It is likely proof the answer is 42! And that we will never know the question

Less ambitious maps have trap streets to foil plagiarists. Gmaps has trap plains!

Well, Aliens, obviously. But does anybody know what “Demo” means in the languages spoken in South Sudan?

It could be that the rest of the sentence “Here there be DEMONS” was obscured. Possibly by demons.

What is interesting to me, is that they removed the word “DEMO” but apparently not the layer of map data to which it refers. I’m not sure whether that is hydrographic data, or some attempt at shading, or some kind of attempt at stegnagrophy. But it seems to still be there in the square area above the label (well, where the label was).

Fjords in The Sudan? I suppose they could appear anywhere.
Nah, you are just seeing white mice.
I suppose when you get your hands on new equipment, you try it out on simple projects before going for more complex stuff.
