Dad Finds Map That His Teen Daughter Is 'Working On', And Some Of The New Additions Are Hilariously Alarming

The children are our future, as they say.

And in some cases, they're up to some truly absurdist genius.

Case in point: NBC Sports writer Craig Calcaterra's 16-year-old daughter Anna.


Calcaterra recently discovered his daughter is either a skilled comedian, a mad genius, or maybe both—and will definitely be taking over the world one day. She's been working on a map that fundamentally reshapes the Western hemisphere, triggers multiple wars and also gives us a second Ohio, and it is... well, it's something.

As Calcaterra relayed on Twitter, it all began with the simplest of parental questions: "Got any homework?"

And well...

Just your average map, just a fun doodle from a teenager's sketchbook.

Until you look closer and do the reading...

Honestly, it's hard to discern whether Calcaterra's daughter needs to be stopped because she's using her genius for evil, or if she's the leader we've all been waiting for. Who's to say?

Because a lot of her proposals seem totally reasonable.

Like combining Vermont and New Hampshire just makes sense. So does melding the Dakotas.

Less clutter.

And swapping the Virginias seems fair.

West Virginia's been in Virginia's shadow all this time, so why not switch it around and let West Virginia have a chance to shine?

Giphy

And letting Florida secede, well... we can probably all get behind that.

It's already its own world in practice anyway.

Giphy

But increasing the size of both Texas and Idaho—such that it takes over not just the middle of the US but a huge swath of Canada too? By unanimous vote‽‽

Utter madness.

And not just because Oklahoma loses its cute panhandle in the process.

Giphy

And this whole Long Chile thing is... it's just...

Giphy

And A SECOND OHIO?

We have enough on our hands with the first one.

Giphy

Anyway, as you might expect, folks on Twitter had lots to say about Anna's new world order.





The Ohio thing definitely raised some eyebrows.




As did Canada's seeming acquiescence to Anna's imperialism.



And that whole thing about the Dakotas had people scratching their heads...

But Anna herself quickly put this all to rest.

Well, that's that.

Anna is our Queen now and that's the end of it.

Long may she reign over Long Chile and all eastward territories from sea to shining East Virginia, or whatever.

Cookie Monster's Tweet About Eating Cookies For The World Cup Final Sparks Hilarious Jokes

Okay at this point I think it's time we get a memo to the Sesame Street characters to stay out of sports commentary!

Because just weeks after Elmo became public internet enemy #1 for refusing to back the Knicks in the NBA playoffs, now Cookie Monster has egg on his face. Or cookie crumbs, as it were.

Kash Patel Roasted After Sharing Cringey Video Patting Himself On The Back Following 'Flawless' World Cup

FBI Director Kash Patel was widely mocked after sharing a gloating video touting "zero major security incidents" after Spain claimed the World Cup title on Sunday with a 1–0 victory over defending champions Argentina.

Patel said the statistic is remarkable given that the United States "hosted the equivalent of 78 super bowls in 38 days, along with 40 base camps, endless fan zones, and celebrations in nearly every state."

Tom Cruise Looks Virtually Unrecognizable In Trailer For New Film About Eccentric Billionaire

We've seen some incredible examples of immersive acting and method acting that took projects to a whole new place, like Heath Ledger's Joker in The Dark Knight and Leonardo DiCaprio in The Revenant.

The latest example, which is reminding some of an elderly Biff Tannen from Back to the Future, is Tom Cruise's portrayal of the fictional character Digger Rockwell, a wealthy oil tycoon who must help undo the harm that he's created for the planet and its people.
