You know that moment when you get mind-f***ed so hard you just casually lean back in your chair, your eyes glaze over, and you mouth-breathe deeply? I do.

So, one fine afternoon, I’m cruising Google Maps — as one does — trying to scope out French Polynesia, not realizing it’s on the opposite side of the globe from France. My coworker Jon strolls by and makes an off-hand comment about his disappointment in the prevalence of the Mercator projection. Now, normally I would chuckle and nod, patiently wait until Jon was out of sight, and then frantically Google what the hell the Mercator projection is, but for some reason I chose instead to do a Aeron 180° and put Jon on blast.
