As a tech worker, I'm a pretty big fan of Google Maps mashups. Ever since Google handed out the keys to the service, the web responded by creating a metric giga-ton of specialized maps. There are maps to locate cell towers, plan and find running routes and even a map that allows you to plot nuclear blast radii.
The map shown above just might take the cake, however. 700+ photos documenting pure Buckeye global propaganda efforts.

I love it! Keep it up, thanks. O-H-I-O
Quick story along those lines. My best friend decided to backpack across Europe after his graduation from The Ohio State University (circa 1992).
While going through Thailand, he decided to test the bounds of Buckeye fandom, and shouted "O-H" in a Bangkok marketplace.
More than one person responded with an "I-O".
He said it was the coolest thing he'd ever heard.
It's been my goal for awhile to desecrate miscellaneous sacrosanct things around the country with an O-H-I-O pose for an appropriately named Punk'd knockoff (O-H-I-O'd). In Tuscaloosa, for example, the university has a belltower thingie that would be the I in any O-H-I-O group photo, but there's only Gabby and I as Buckeye fans down here to do it. I can has 3rd member and picture taker, plz.
Either way, stuff like this convinces me that it's a Buckeye world, and that I'm just happy to go along with the ride.
Good luck, but be careful. Crimson Tide fans don't enjoy being punk'd:

If someone could get O-H-I-O at all the SEC schools, you'd be a freakin' Buckeye Hall-of-Famer in my opinion! O-H!!!
That pyramid of Zoser is one interesting artifact. The Nubian pyramids further south are fascinating, too, and some haven't yet been fully excavated. Lord knows what still lies under the sands.
When the Zoser pyramid was excavated, the diggers found only a few physical artifacts from the pharoah's mummy (if memory serves, they found a hand or a foot). That's precisely what folks will find of me at the end of the year if OSU goes to the title game again and lays another egg.
I'd love to see an OSU/Oklahoma matchup. Of course, if we do win that game, we'll all have to hear about how we wouldn't have won anything if an SEC team would have made it in. Ugh.

As a JawJa resident I can accommodate the enhancement of nearly any SouthEastern Cheaters campus by participating as an O, H, or I.
The good thing about punk'n SECers is it will take them so long to figure out they've been punk'd you'd be long gone by the time the light comes on.

Good find Kyle II. We can't lose to FSU! USC was upset last night by South Florida. How does that happen?
Agreed on the nice find Kyle II.
The USF Bull helmet is pretty slick.
Buckeye Nation needs to rise up! Vote often. Can't believe we are losing to crappy arrowhead!
The worst part is that FSU stole the concept of helmet stickers from OSU and they denigrate the proud Seminole Nation by mocking them during their games with the tomahawk chop (the only thing lamer is the gator chomp which looks like something the kids on the short bus do to entertain themselves).
