Make your own globe!

No borders on this one.

You need three things: index cards, scotch tape, and a color printer.

Print these out (you might want to adjust the size):

Each rhombus has to be folded in half, slightly.

Makes a neat puzzle.

Enjoy!

Heya, Paul! Is this an icosahedron? Have you seen
Fuller's "dynamaxion" (sp?) map?

No, it's almost a triacontahedron, except that the sides are "bent"
slightly. Notice the _30_ image files, and notice I said "rhombus"
above.

Yeah, _that's_ an icosahedron.

Der. Right.

Can be folded into two triangles.

'Aye.
