                      I'm puzzling over all these globes …
                                        
In addition to the Mova Globe [1], Bunny also thought I would enjoy this
globe:

[As if regular jigsaw puzzles were hard enough.] [2]
 

A three dimensional 540 piece jigsaw puzzle of the Earth—an actual nine inch
globe. Of course, that's the finished piece. This is what I was faced with
when I started:

[A pile of pieces.] [3]
 

It certainly didn't hurt that each piece was numbered on the back.

[To make sure you have every piece] [4]
 [It's a numbers game ...] [5]
 

It was quite fun, and it felt a bit like making the Death Star, in an odd
way.

[I started with a bottom-up approach ... ] [6]
 [The land was easy to put together, but the Earth is 75% water ... ] [7]
 [So I decided to change to a top-down approach to things.] [8]
 [The Earth is hollow! Hollow I say!] [9]
 [But I managed to puzzle this out.] [10]
