	Wombat's story reminds me of a friend at Indiana U. who
	is majoring in cartography.  He's interested in making maps
	that illustrate stuff other than the usual topography, rainfall,
	etc.  

	One of his ideas:  Conduct a nationwide poll in which you
	ask people how afraid they are on a scale of 1-10 
	(10 - practically paranoid, 1 - calm).  Then he would use
	these numbers to make the contour map of fear. 

	Another:  Go around the country asking people what they
	have for breakfast.  Then write their answers on a map.
	The resulting "breakfast surface of the US" would presumably
	have such things as the "bacon and eggs belt" and "Rice Krispies
	regions."
