This cool illustration from a 1921 issue of Scientific American uses a human head to demonstrate how map projections distort the sizes and shapes of landmasses. The upper left drawing shows a globe, which is why the head looks normal.
This is one of several neat cartographic demonstrations rounded up by Joe Hanson, a biologist and TV star. You can find the rest here.

It comprises 10 more or less technically looking items of different size and uselessness to be placed by a man in the living room. There are two values to be determined, the number of items required for the first comment (to remove this stuff), and the number of items required to to get into an argument lasting at least 10 minutes...
The average value may indicate how many strange technical devices a wife may accept in the future such as Computers, PS3, beamers or the like
