Buckminster Fuller invented a map projection called "4D Dymaxion" that minimizes distortion in a unique way.. Joe said he wanted more than 3D.
And the movie "Buckeroo Bansai in the 8th dimension" is a really cool movie and Joe would certainly like to travel through that dimension (though I suspect he already has :-D)! Gary Prof. Gary A.
