Strange Maps
Strange Maps is one of those sites that might have been posted here before, I honestly can’t remember. It’s easier to just repost sometimes than to bother looking something up, right?

1,024 Cheerleaders
1,024 Cheerleaders takes an image you provide and shows you what it might look like if that many people made the picture out of signs. I used Mark Corrigan from the Channel 4 series Peep Show (among other things). If you dislike the site, at the very least go track down Peep Show, it’s unbelievably funny.
