Okay, so this is a bit of a niche interest, but:

Probably completely meaningless unless you're up on your cell biology. The
names of the stations are all proteins (or genes, depending on how you
look at it; comes to much the same thing): the first map (which you might
not be able to see if you're not in a subscribing IP range) is mostly
human proteins, which have cryptic names like GSK-3, and the second is
proteins from _Drosophila melanogaster_, where there is a tradition of
giving them quite fanciful names (but still descriptive ones, based on
what happens if the protein is knocked out: loss of Van gogh causes swirly
patterns in the wing reminiscent of the eponymous painter's work, loss of
Cheap date increases sensitivity to alcohol, etc).

Anyway, they made me happy.

Nice, but WTF is it so large and slow? Did you save it as a bitmap,
or did you use a drawing programme that reflects all the imprecise mouse
movements?

Excellent... my molecular cell biology exam is a week on Monday!

I didn't save it at all - neither of these are my work. I would guess that
the latter explanation is the case, though.
