Would you like some charts? Because I happen to have some right here.

Several of them involve dinosaurs.

Work has been a mean one lately and I have to clean my apartment in a rush because family is coming to town in a week and The Moomins was like, “Great! We’ll have them all come to your apartment for brunch!” and I was like, “Yeah, I should probably get a functioning sink then” so when I’m not pulling fourteen-hour days at work I’ve been furiously scrubbing and wiping and putting things away so my relatives don’t think I live like a candidate for an episode of Hoarders. There’s going to be twenty of them and apparently they will all want a place to sit, the whiny needy people that they are, so I have to clear the stuff off all the tables and seats. Whatever, it’s a pain and it’s prevented me from blogging as often as I’d like, so while I am battling the pile of home-repair debris please enjoy these internet nuggets of information.

Where is “rat”? Didn’t rats cause the Great Big Pile of Dead People back in days when we harvested mud? (I’m sorry, I get all my history information from Monty Python.) No more with the rats and the corpses? We’ve moved onto snails? Okay.

This is Charta!!!*

*I think I’ve used that one before. I don’t care. I like it. I’m using it again.

First, a random collection of charts I’ve seen on the internet:

And I’d like to draw your attention to Gemma Correll. I like her stuff a great deal. I hope to see more of her awesomeness in the future.

While I work on a bunch of projects to get finished before I leave for Japan (OMG HOLY BADGER-CRAPS I’M GOING TO JAPAN IN THREE WEEKS) I wanted to enjoy some charts while I’m being a busy beaver.

And Buzzfeed had a marvelous article that I wanted to share here:

Tis the season. For charts.

Since it is the time of year for giving, I would like to give you the greatest gift of all: knowledge. Through charts. That I had nothing to do with. I just found them on the internet. Whatever. It’s a gift.

And my favorite graphic of recent, the United States of America by an Australian:

Happy happy charts on this grim day.

The sky was black at 4:00 in the afternoon today and there are tornado warnings all over NYC, so instead of saving your battery in case the power goes out and you need to call for help I recommend looking at these charts instead. 911 be damned, charts take priority!

Chartastic.

First, there are a bunch of varied ones:

Then there are two that are special to me. One is the animals of Amazonia by an artist called Andy Ward. All the animals are wonderfully rendered, but I especially like how the horned frog looks like the Hypnotoad from Futurama.

And then there’s the female anatomy chart. I snort-laughed out loud reading this thing. I think I might have to print it out and hang it in the Tampax department at work.

1. Reddit did a contest – who could write the best two-sentence horror stories. Here’s an article about it.

http://io9.com/two-sentence-horror-stories-are-actually-pretty-chillin-923728355

I looked at some of them and while the stories were plenty scary, the comments underneath made me snort-laugh.

2. There’s a web comic I like called The Dog House Diaries made by three men: Ray, Raf and Will. In addition to web comics, they often post charts. Anyone who’s been reading this blog for a while knows of my love for charts and infographics. Here are a few of my favorites from The Dog House Diaries.
