I saw that pipe for sale at $500+ on one of the websites.It must have taken forever with a dremel tool and a steady hand to get that pipe done. Shocked

I've noticed that pipe for a while now. As I'm a geographer and teach world regional geography, I'd love to have that pipe. But alas, on a teachers salary, I can't afford it!

Notice how, latitudinally, it's moderately accurate. So often I see world maps or images of globes where the center (equator) is up in North America, not northern Brazil where it belongs.
