It seems that this should be fake because there can’t be a reportere this freaking stupid, but then again, they would have to build that thing out of Jenga blocks just to set up this ridiculous video, and we all know how frustrating playing even a game of Jenga is…

Don’t know why I didn’t post this sooner because when I first heard about this statistic I was indubitably stoked. Also, Duncan Birch FTW.

Great map called Who Lives Here that gives you a breakdown of media income and distribution across various NYC neighborhoods. It even goes out all the way to the outer limits of Brooklyn and is really well put together.

HuffPost has a cool slideshow of ten of the best homes of world leaders, believe or not, Liechtenstein’s Vaduz Castle was the fan favorite, and I have to admit it is pretty awesome.

A simple and easy to way to understand risk better, it’s so easy to be misled by what the media reports as a solid correlation.
Don’t think percentages think people
