Bizarro earth ?

Does anyone out there remember the Bizarro Superman from arrow comics ? He lived on a cuboid planet called Htrae.
It would be wonderful to build an Htrae globe with stand about, say, a foot on a side.
Do any of you have any ideas about how to project the map of earth onto a cube ?

You know, Rickstef, it never even crossed what passes for my mind !
My brother used to have a desktop image of a man thumping the table and shouting "THINK DAMMIT"
I think I might just ask if he still has it
In the meantime...
Duuurrrrr...
