“So It’s Come To This:” is a scrapbook for my philisophical essays on the world, casual observations, and personal rants.
More cool visualizations courtesy of Consumerist. Here, they highlight a PCRM article from 2007 which shows why some foods are more expensive than others – especially when you would think the opposite would be the case. Looking at the comparison, you would think McDonald’s could lower the cost of a Big Mac by 50 cents just be getting rid of the “healthy” lettuce.
I love these visualizations!

I love animation. Feature length or short like this one, animated movies have always captured my attention. I think its the limitless ways to visually tell a story and the ease in which emotions can be conveyed; CGI is great but hand drawn animation, IMHO, still outdoes even the best Pixar has to offer.
Anyway, from The Awesomer, I found this little animated short story. I’m already looking forward to seeing what Sønniksen and his team come up with next.

A swinging Mexican fiesta goes bad when a very hungry rotten avocado crashes the party and starts devouring the guests… Vegeterrible is a film about the last tomato’s fight for survival.
I saw this a while ago but went back to it again after it was posted to a few blogs. The video is of a frontal offset crash between a 1959 Chevy Bel Air and a 2009 Chevy Malibu – essentially, the Bel Air’s modern equivalent. Having been around older cars like this, I’d have thought the Bel Air would, at the very least, hold its own. But no… it dies a very fast death (along with its driver and passengers). Take a look:
