I was looking at the CIA WFB today and happened upon the world link. I don't remember this projection from last time I looked at the page, but it's definitely a bit odd. I mean, it works and is somewhat accurate. Curiously, a straight horizontal line probably follows a path similar to the orbit of a satellite.

In any case, enjoy.
