Internet usage one is interesting. Eurasia is blue at sun rise, north america is teal/yellow. At sunset, Eurasia is bright red, NA is yellow.

That tattoo map is pretty cool. Not exactly a great idea, though, with how often national boundaries change around the world. It will probably be outdated in a few decades.

Edit to add: I always thought that we were the only country to drive on the right side of the road instead of the left side, just like we're the only country to use the customary system instead of the metric system. That driving map surprised me.
