Spotted on Boing Boing today:

The Morgan Library in New York is currenty exhibiting one of the great masterworks of medieval illumination, the Hours of Catherine of Cleves. All 157 miniatures have also been digitized.

Anyone who likes medieval illumination should definitely check it out. Page 75 is a personal favourite, a depiction of Hell itself which upon closer examination appears to be inhabited by a demon with something of a resemblance to everyone’s favourite stabby robot:

A composite of all world flags weighted by population (and tweaked slightly to make it a little less red)

I wonder if it’s the sort of thing where your your flag just jumps out at you – I can clearly see the Union Flag but can’t see other more populous nations, though it won’t help that nine of them are tricolours.

It’s almost as good as the Earthican Flag.
