    ...Virtually none of those looked like anything but a bunch of white and a bunch of grey

    The results of the Rorschach test say that you need a better imagination.

    I have a great imagination though D:

    For example, some of the stubbly stuff on the ceiling in my room looks like a teddy bear being stretched out painfully on a stretchrack!
  • To be honest, GMH, you'd need a really vivid imagination to see some of these as fitting the descriptions. And isn't the real point whether they're in fact hideously gerrymandered, not what they look like?

    I know, I know.


    I still find the names very funny though.  Even though I have great trouble in actually seeing what they're supposed to describe. :P


    By the way, you can do your own gerrymandering.

    Props to anyone who can draw pictures things using them.  Mad props to people who produce maps with realistic population distributions--remember that the size of a federal House district is about 710,000 people (except in single-district states).


    You'll want to put things like eyes or high-detail objects in population centers.  Some states have population centers in the middle of them, such as Texas (with Dallas, Ft. Worth, and Austin); others just don't cooperate at all (such as how Florida has a huge population density on its southeastern edge).
