I don’t recall him giving credit to Scott Kim.
Unless I’m being wooshed, that’s because the ambigrams were designed by John Langdon.
I’m not sure if this is directed at me. I didn’t realize he did the work but it’s very cool.
Speaking of things that look different from different angles…how cool is this?
Yeah, I tagged the wrong person in my post. My apologies. It was meant for @74westy.
Your post was a reply to mine as I was notified. Thanks for pointing out my error.
Austin, TX is the largest city, and largest metropolitan area, in either the USA or Canada that does not have a franchise in any of the four biggest North American sports leagues (NFL, MLB, NBA or NHL.)
Austin does have an MLS team though.
He did a whole book of them in 2005. I used to own a copy before I downsized.
I seem to recall that there was also a comic adaptation of the 1960s television version of Tarzan which starred Ron Ely, where the boy sidekick was Jai.
The last pitcher to win three games in a World Series was Randy Johnson of the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2001. He won games 2, 6, and 7.
Ellie Kemper, who is probably best known as the titular Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, took drama classes in school. Her drama teacher was the future star of Mad Men, Jon Hamm.
Indianapolis, IN is the largest city in the USA that does not… sit on a navigable river.
Why this is interesting, I know not.
What I found interesting is that when a resident there told me this fact, he seemed quite proud of knowing it. .
In 2000, the most populous city to not have its own webpage was Arlington, Texas which ranked #100 on the list.
I don’t think Dallas has a navigable river; the Trinity surely doesn’t qualify, does it?
Thinking the same about Atlanta, but perhaps the Chattahoochee is navigable? I mean, I have tubed the thing many a time as a kid…
From this article:
Although still produced, spittoons are now rare, and often present simply as decoration: They figure as part of the décor in the Senate Chamber of the United States. In the Supreme Court of this country, each Justice has a spittoon next to his or her seat in the courtroom, mostly out of respect for tradition. Since the spitting habit is largely lost, and the young are unacquainted with the traditional form and function of spittoons, these receptacles are likely to be used as wastebaskets.

The Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping kept a spittoon by his side even at important diplomatic meetings. A newspaper photograph shows him in conversation with the British Prime Minister in Beijing in 1984; a white spittoon is visible on the floor at his feet.
Pray tell what river Phoenix, AZ (the largest capital by population and only US capital with more than 1,000,000 people) sits on?
Or Los Angeles, for that matter.
They have better drugs than those of us who live around here, obviously.
