Here’s the newest comic from xkcd describing character interactions in a bunch of movies.

That Primer one is 100% correct. If you haven’t seen the movie, I suggest you watch it. It’s a great movie. You may not like it, but at least you’ll know how it feels to get raped in the brain after watching it. Raped. In the brain.

This infographic shows the speeds and costs of internet access around the world. At the top is Japan with an average broadband speed of 61mbps. AVERAGE. And it only costs them 27 cents per month for each mbps. We in the US are at #15, averaging out at around 4.8 mbps for $3.33 per mbps (that seems a little off).

Japan, why are you so awesome?

Futuristic Movie Timeline – Dan Meth

posted by Chris on 06.16.09 at 11:26 pm

Dan Meth is pretty good at making pop culture charts. This is number 6 in his series: Futuristic Movie Timeline. I’m both surprised and sad that Terminator isn’t on there.

Here’s what Dan Meth has to say about it:

No one really pays much attention to what year sci-fi movies take place. I thought it would be interesting to arrange some classic films about the future into chronological order and see what we’d find. I’ve also charted the years in which they were released as well as the current year. This is by far the geekiest thing I’ve ever done.

Bristol Stool Chart.

Have you ever had a hard time explaining the type of poop you were about to have or a type of poop you had before? Well my gf conveniently introduced me to the bristol stool scale on Wikipedia. No longer will there be any confusion in my poop descriptions. I think I will have a type 4 number two right now.
