Preconceptions via Google


This map features national characteristics according to a Google search, such as "Americans are known for *". The asterisk is computer-language for any undefined value, so this particular Google search would pull up all the instances of what Americans are known for, according to Google. It's pretty interesting to see what we all think of each other, actually.

You can find the original map here.

Well at least we have the solution as to Where To Send Our Spring Break-ers: off to Brazil and away from our daughters.
