Very interesting. I like it, but I do have one question- who took the time to do that?!

I hope you're not criticizing the artist/compiler for "wasting time" on a frivolity. You're free to think so, of course, but I disagree. It seems valuable to me because it is interesting. Besides that, I would say that most americans, myself often included, do not spend their time doing anything more productive.
(I don't mean that as an attack, Lindsey, and I don't intend to be mean -- just starting conversation :)

That being said, however, I didn't honestly think it was very interesting. Neat idea though.

Interesting and boring at the same time.

And what I mean is: I think the idea is better than the results.

Don't worry, I do not feel attacked; though I appreciate the note- sometimes bloging is misunderstood. Without vocal tone, many things can be misconstrued.
I did not mean that the artist was wasting time, just that it must have taken quite a long time to do that!
I agree that a lot of Americans don't spend time in productive activities, but this world is a better place for those who fill their lives with worth pursuits that fulfill their lives.
