But wait, there's more.

5. My first thought was that it's battleship-ish...

...and my second thought was that it's the back-scratching post you use for your poor chapped ass.
.
.
.

I'm really really really really really trying to stay with that first thought.

9. my husband was a graphic artist who's now a software

guy. Terrible and ineffective charts drive him crazy. There was a great book about proper graphic information, which I got him for Christmas one year, can't think of the name of it at the moment. Classic book in the graphic/design type/art type field.


So many charts and graphs are so poorly done, off-scale, terrible use of color and shapes, you can't really tell what they are trying to say!
