Friday Funny 9: Cool/Nerdy Graphs



So Graph Jam just rocks. I totally geek out at the fun graphs and charts that they have. I collected 30 of my favorite for you today. I hope they make you chortle.

First, here are 13 graphs that visually illustrate song lyrics:



























And here are 17 graphs that are just random and delicious:










So true!




LOVE IT!


This proves I like cartoons...








Us nerds know this it true!




I dunno, I always drowned in the river...


Pharmie is going to LOVE this one! (not a David Caruso fan)





So there are few of us going to a 6.23 kilometer run tomorrow. Yes, a “6.23 K” run. It’s for a fundraiser for school district 623. My costume will consist of a pile of newspaper that I will crinkle up...



...and stuff inside this costume so I will look like a plump, round, ripe tomato:



It should get some fun reactions! I’ll see if I can get Borsch to take a bunch of photos at the race. If you haven’t voted for me yet, please go here and cast your vote! Thanks! Happy Friday!

    Wait. So if the spectators don't care for your performance in that costume, what will they throw at you? Your tomato brethren????

    It'll be a TOMATO HOLOCAUST!!

    O, the toma-nity!

    Good luck on the run. You already have my vote.

    I'm totally putting the "Cowbell" graph on my blog. That is my favorite SNL skit of all time. Plus, everyone calls my kettlebells "cowbells." It's become a kettlebell insider's joke.

    I voted and I think you're a shoe in! Good luck this weekend. Don't splat!!

    You are the best! It is precisely because you put so much effort into the Friday funnies that I did, in fact, vote for you. Well done, sir - well done!

    ps - I now have that George Michaels song stuck in my head - crap!

    Did this take you all day? Seriously, very funny. You know what I've learned about blogging in a decimated economy, clusterfucked war, and the worst-run Republican campaign in history? That if you call the current President of the United States "Asshole of the Universe" you're gonna get a lot of hate mail. No kidding. I thought that was just general common knowledge About George by now. Who knew?

    Ummmm...I didn't get the peanut butter one, but the rest had me rolling.

    Aren't you going to sound a little crinkly with all that newspaper in there? How about those little packing peanuts--so you can shake it up a little?
    So...is this a tomato fundraiser?

    oh. my. god. Those graphs were the BEST THING EVER, ESPECIALLY FOR A GRAPH NERD LIKE ME!!!

    i looooooooooooved it!

    I hate to admit that one of the ones I cracked up the most at was the one about MS Word and fixing the damn auto formatting crap.

    I also loved the child/parent IQ...and the Nickelback one (b/c I hate them, esp)...and the OREGON TRAIL ONE...oh okay I loved them all, what the hell.

    THANKS, STEVE! I def laughed...
