Some excerpts:
- short mention of false positives
- derivation of basis for statement "My guess is that the fraction of Americans who travel by plane each year is in fact probably not more than about 1 in 3." As opposed to "Gallup poll conducted in 2008, for instance, found that just 44 percent of Americans reported having flown at least once in the past year."
- frequent fliers — those who take 4 or more round trips per year — account for the 57 percent majority of all air travel, even though they make up just 18 percent of air travelers and something like 7 percent of the overall American population.

Pierre Pichard did an 8 volume inventory of the monuments for UNESCO, which apparently aren't available online except in snippet form. The inventory includes lat/lon of each site to 3 decimal places. I don't know how the surveying was done.

goo.gl Tips
Here's an added bonus tip from Googler Matt Cutts: if you add .qr to the end of any goo.gl-shortened URL, you get a QR code instead of the URL. For example: http://goo.gl/LFwS.qr
If you add "info/" before the short-code, you will give info of where it will send you.
For instance:
URL: goo.gl/LFwS
Preview: goo.gl/info/LFwS

Angkor Temples Mapped
For fans of the more obscure Angkor era temples, a lot are mapped starting around here, http://bit.ly/9nsBpv , with a lot of panning the map around.
The locations are generally taken from Ancient Angkor by Freeman and Jacques, Asia Books, Bangkok 1999. You more or less have to know the names to find them with search. The comprehensive on line listings of the names with geo-locations seems to have disappeared
http://www.angkorguide.de/English-Dateien/monuments.htm
but here is a site with a lot of photos with locations. http://www.panoramio.com/user/1549852/tags/Cambodia
