Maybe the 'news' media is busy trying to figure out what the single most important other item to graph on these graphs might be.

I think that looks like a great graph of something.

Is there a duck on a string here?
If so, I want to try to win a hundred dollars when we find out just what you are trying to say.

I thought earlier, when I glanced at this thread, that it was going to be about a rock band, knowing your bent.Step on it, son. You're gonna drive me to drinkin'.

I used to boulder with Jim Shirley above his trailer next to his folks' place. We had a longish traverse that he called the Blue Line. There a SoCal connection here?

Should we call in Sherlock Holmes or Mason Williams? Are there facts involved? What the hell are they?

Do you know a big fat guy your age with an electric sled? Has he been laughing at you about your taxation, about the price you pay to take a weekend cruise out into the desert?

Frankly, those graphs with the San Diego above next to the blue line reminds me of a map of the Tarahumara gang's turf.

I can smell adventure. I can smell moose droppings. I cannot imagine what you are trying to show.

Pray, tell. Or if y-y-y-you c-c-c-c-can't s-say it, then s-sing it.

You want data? Here's some on Ebola as compared to some of the other stuff Americans can die of:

Getting hit from a meteorite is also risky. Your chances are 1/700,000 lifetime.

Sandusky: Subitized.
Sanford: Menisectimized.
Ebola: Found to have a twenty percent greater area of physis than is normal in a late teen male.

All three have a history of gout.

How are the feet doin', cowboy?

Tea has really come into disfavor in China, they are much more intent on houses there, ever since the great Pepsodent Wars have ceased.

and, did you see this coming? When yhou [sic] got a lot a houses, you gotta clean 'em, right? I hope you're getting residuals on this Peter.

I do notice that 9 NFL teams have won 6 games while losing 4, yet, only 5 have won 4 and lost 6.

Is this fair? Should the two groups be taxed differentially.

The rest is left to the reader, but here's a start.

^Well it doesn't take Alexander Grothendieck (nod to rgold) to figure out that Ebola just might not be the threat that it was played up to be in the news.

In China, they don't even mention Ebola, they're just concerned with finding some breathable air.

Remember: If you're out tonight (at noon?) on your bike, wear white.

Lorenzo:

I am informed, but have not verified, that the third leading cause of death in the U.S. (behind heart disease and cancer) is preventable medical errors.

Now comes a study in the current issue of the Journal of Patient Safety that says the numbers may be much higher — between 210,000 and 440,000 patients each year who go to the hospital for care suffer some type of preventable harm that contributes to their death.
