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." Ben Leimkuhler
