I'm hung up on the horizontal time axis of that graph. Didn't Clinton have two terms?
And Ford had a shorter term than everyone else.

Wow; second only to Connecticut.

You didn't think it was just whores and pimps on K Street, did you?
Wait... come to think of it, maybe it is... gotta get my dictionary. ;)

Deja vu

Didn't Clinton have two terms?

No, the other term was Ho-insky.

This is a bunch of randomly gathered bullshit, in a pile by WaPo.

For the state's avg IQ they used this study. pdf
The models were "highly predictive" of a number that nobody knows?? WTF??
Sounds to me like "how do it know?" The whole paper reads like a circle jerk.
The only thing I see that rings true, is PA is solidly in the middle, as it is in all the graph/charts we've seen on every subject.

Japan has a few volcanos.

The most common word used in online dating profiles by state.
I suspect the black dot tagged International is supposed to be DC, but it's not in the right location.

Now that's an interesting chart/map/graph/thing.

Seems marriage isn't the attraction it used to be. I told ya lettin' 'em vote and wear shoes would mess things up.

Delaware didn't even get one.

Yeah. There's something funny going on with DC/MD/Del labels.

I think the DC dot is supposed to be for MD, and the MD line is supposed to be for Del, and DC is supposed to be blank. It's not a state after all.

Gospel may apply to the Delmarva Peninsula.

The PEW again. How much the citizens of each country believe without a belief in a deity morality is not possible vs wealth.

I bet it would look the same if it were education, instead of wealth

That could be, although I don't think the US would be as far off the line in that graph.

Bananas rising, and not for sex-ed condom demos.

I heard that there's a banana blight, and the bananas we know (The Cavendish) will probably be wiped out. Maybe that's the reason for the inflation.

Oh, here

Death rates for cars are dropping, guns holding steady, and drugs skyrocketing.
http://cellar.org/2015/deathrates.jpg

Cars are safer and traffic so heavy, fatal accidents declined. Gun homicides are down but suicides are up so the line has held steady.
When people read drugs, the junkie shooting up in an alley comes to mind, but this line is caused by the huge increase in prescription medication overdoses. I suspect, like the guns, suicides play a major role. It's easier to resolve to swallow a bottle of pills, than pull the trigger.

Yep.

Guess what, in the last ten years Hawaii has had no blizzards, not one. Don't confuse deep snowfall with a blizzard. During a blizzard snow may not be falling at all, it could be wind blown snow already on the ground. Of course for that it would have to be colder than an EX's heart for the snow to fall and still be loose enough to blow around later.

Wait. WAIT. WAIT.














Exes have hearts?:eyebrow:

I still have my last ex's heart. It's in a jar, on a shelf.:cool:

Bet it's cold, don't touch that jar without a potholder or gloves. http://cellar.org/2015/frozen.gif

A new record year for US car sales, the last record set in 2000. Stolen from.

Estimated number of Armed Rump Militias by state. Each could be five guys drilling in some guys driveway, or 500 guys doing field maneuvers.
The estimate is 100,000 total members, about 40% of them active.

What real estate is worth... or why the rent is too damn high.
DC is worth $3 Billion a sq mile, and NYC facing Central Park is $131 Billion a sq mile, but Wyoming is only $581,000 a square mile.
There are interactive maps for the US and NYC here.

Hey, I can see DC on a US map!

When Geithner told those big bank bankers that they had eight hours to save the American economy, he was not kidding. And he was right. Of three types of recessions, worst is one created by economic mismanagement. We know anti-Americans use their rhetoric to justify conclusions. These idiots even tried to put the Social Security fund into stock markets. Because wacko extremists said that is good. That proved it was good.

Only recently have many economic parameters returned to where they were in 2001. For example, the stock market (before a Chinese inspired downturn) finally got back to where it peaked in the third month of George Jr's administration. America only recently reached the point, considered by economists, as full employment (5%).

Of some 220 recessions studied worldwide since WWII, worst types are those created by outright economic mismanagement. We were literally looking at another 1929 crash. But we did not make a mistake that Hoover made in 29. Bernanke stated that quite bluntly. History now proves him correct. We did not use monetary restraints. Instead we did TARP (criticized by wacko extremists who wanted to make Hoover's mistake). TARP, et al averted another 1929 recession.

But jobs are a lagging indicator. It takes longer - long after a recession ends - to restore jobs.

On the London tube(subway), when taking the escalator you stand on the right and if you want to pretend it's stairs, you climb on the left. Always, no question, that's how we've always done it.
But that slows traffic, causing congestion, limiting capacity.

I don't stand on escalators here. I climb them. And if you stand, you should stay to the right so I can pass you. So I was going to protest this article. But I actually agree with it because what it is really saying is that ON REALLY LONG escalators, very few people climb them, so everyone should just ride so that you can make use of both "lanes".

Looking at my own experiences, that's true. Rosslyn station has an extremely long escalator, and I don't usually climb that one. It's about 100 feet tall and takes 3 minutes to ride. I bet fewer than 5% of passenger climb that escalator. In other stations, it's more like 70% who climb escalators.

Unless you're traveling with someone, who wants to share a stair with a stranger on an escalator? Somehow that seems weirder than sharing a seat on a bus/subway. Probably because seats are limited, but there's always a free stair coming up momentarily on an escalator.

Here Are the States Where Blowjobs Are Illegal But Necrophilia's Cool

http://gawker.com/here-are-the-state...ecr-1563878569

Uh, Spex... why were you researching that? :eyebrow:

The thing necrophilia and blow-jobs have in common?

Not a lot of backtalk.

Because the studies of bestiality and cousin incest were already taken ;)

Marry a cousin? Oh, like Rudy Giuliani, Edgar Allan Poe, Jesse James, Jerry Lee Lewis, Albert Einstein, Thomas Jefferson, H.G. Wells, Charles Darwin, John F. Fitzgerald, Johann Sebastian Bach, Igor Stravinsky, Saddam Hussein, and the Queen.

OMNI predictions in 1982...

Genius.

Slovakia? WTF is with that?

The spread of the industrial revolution which was great until it reached the Ruhr, but there it got Krupp-ed.

This is an interactive chart and so I can't put it up here. But go over to Flowingdata to check it out.

The products that send people to the emergency room, from 2014 data broken down by month. See snowblower injuries peak in the winter. See lawnmower injuries peak in the summer.

See binder clip injuries follow no clear pattern.

As I expected, #1 and #2 are stairs and flooring. Then bicycles, beds, football, basketball.
Ah ha, I knew it, I knew it was dangerous, leading to suffering and ER bills... EXERCISE. Not even once, kids. :headshake

I don't know if these are valid, but what the hell.

So shitting outside makes you shorter

S'a fine observation BUT - Japanese shitters are world-renowned!

But aren't those the city shitters, the rice paddy shitters may not be up the their usual standard.

What state has the fastest talkers?

The population mean has moved almost to Elspode, in 200 years.

Median income, in case you think New Hampshire is a dirt farm backwater.

Here's a picture of it:
