Ok if you’re addicted to this, then I commiserate. I love global stats and graphs and history… I could spend all day at Gapminder. It’s a beautifully simple way of looking for relationships between important (or weird) data. You can even make movies to show your graph changing over time.  You’ve can plot useful info like CO2 emissions vs income above, or with all this talk of energy independence it’s interesting to see this one:

But then you have things like the Bad Teeth Index. It looks like Americans have to stop making fun of the British! But what’s up with the Saudi’s?

Thanks to Wade Dansby for the heads up!

Stumble it!
