Marian Bantjes created this awesome poster about knowledge (or lack of it) as a map. Check out the Isle of Knowledge, surrounded by the Sea of Ignorance and set apart from the Unknown by the Curiosity Straights (sic).
I'm very familiar with the Beginners' Gulf and the Shore of Limitations. It seems like I visit those places every day! Link - via swiss miss
I just love stuff like this! Thanks for the post!!

Man, it's easy to identify with all of those places. Over the last few years I've felt periods of pride over my understanding of certain issues, to despair over my absolute ignorance, and remorse for feeling proud of my understanding. It can be like a torrent of mixed quality when attempting to ascertain truth for its own sake.

Sounds a lot like The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster.
