Eric Nordenanker decided to draw the biggest drawing in the world by sketching a self-portrait on a world map and then paying DHL to fly a GPS tracking device around the world to these locations. But, you may be saying, what about those ridiculous loops in the middle of the ocean? Well, for any points that were un-named Nordenanker provided DHL with the latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates. Check out the list of locations here (.pdf). The continuous line of the drawing "[...] passed through 6 continents and 62 countries, thus becoming 110664 km long." (To save you the trouble: 110,664km= 68,763.4216 miles (according to Google's conversion mechanism).)

Ok this is an amazing video, but....shouldn't he be tracking "its journey," rather than "it's journey"...?
