Dante

So, the Las Vegas Sun reports,

Geographers from Kansas State University did a study called 'The Spatial Distribution of the Seven Deadly Sins.'

Hmm, well, what does that mean? It means you have some pretty interesting maps showing their respective prevalence, that's what it means. From what I can tell, Chicago's biggest problem is with greed. Check it out.

I was especially interested when I looked at the maps in how they actually calculated things like sin.

The link below briefly outlines how they did it:

I agree with the blogger from the link above. Pride was calculated quite unimaginatively, although, I'm not sure I can come up with something that much better.
