A man got his butt scanned and turned it into a fancy map
This pirate's map doesn't lead to the booty. It is the booty.
Imgur user PaulChanel, a disabled veteran who uses a wheelchair, undergoes an infrared butt scan every time he's fitted for a new chair or seat cushion. The scanner identifies pressure points to ensure that users get a comfortable seat that doesn't harm their skin.
But PaulChanel was so taken with his butt scan, he thought he'd send it to artist and mapmaker David Atkinson, who runs Hand Made Maps.

Then, Atkinson transformed PaulChanel's butt into a beautiful map -- a map of The Island of Gravelous Butticus. ("Gravel" is PaulChanel's nickname, so it all makes sense.)
PaulChanel worked with Atkinson throughout the creation process, until the gorgeous isle was finally to his liking.
Atkinson added color, and the butt map was finally complete. To make the piece extra fancy, PaulChanel had it matted, framed and placed behind museum glass.
It's not just Kim K, guys. All of our butts can be masterpieces.
