<div id="ygrps-yiv-718163368">precious find & nice question craig<br/>
<br/>
& seeing as nobody has offered any cartological explanation yet <br/>
for this mindboggling proruption <br/>
comprising not just a needle <br/>
but a needle with a chicken neck actually<br/>
it appears we have only the logological & cosmological evidence <br/>
to go by<br/>
<br/>
which is that<br/>
because finnish is ostensibly the worlds most palindromic <br/>
language<br/>
this marvel of espoo fairly begs for the following palindrological <br/>
analysis<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
oops <br/>
espoo<br/>
<br/>
oops<br/>
e g  espoo<br/>
<br/>
oops<br/>
eff off <br/>
espoo<br/>
<br/>
etc<br/>
<br/>
all of which at least appear to indicate that this cartographical <br/>
prodigy <br/>
if not the entire city behind it<br/>
possibly even including that crazy donut hole in its center too <br/>
was originally just a cosmic bump of the elbow or slip of the pen<br/>
<br/>
& is thus our global example or paragon of a mistake <br/>
<br/>
whether merely accidental or of the deliberate fuckoff variety<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
& at risk of being mistaken myself<br/>
i would say this needle points acutely to the importance of <br/>
mistakes<br/>
<br/>
& particularly by placing them in the west <br/>
which symbolizes the future<br/>
it reminds us that mistakes will always be with us <br/>
<br/>
& even more poignantly<br/>
by notching a groove in itself to commemorate itself<br/>
this needle of mistakenness dignifies mistakes to their true <br/>
importance<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
many traditional craftspeople<br/>
peruvian weavers for example <br/>
destroy works that contain no flaw<br/>
<br/>
the theory evidently being<br/>
without a mistake there is no place for the unknown to enter<br/>
<br/>

&gt; I own a large city transit map of Espoo and Kauniainen (a city <br/>

&gt; <br/>
