Earthquake visualization/Link Dump
Copy of something I posted on FB, including the stupid quip:

Nothing earth-shattering (see what I did there?) but still neat to see the visualization.
Camel Toe for Cervical Cancer, a totally NSFW response to the Ice Bucket challenge.
Remember Netscape browser? Class of '18 doesn't
Other old links:
A woman who uses Nike+ run tracker to draw penises (WARNING: link goes to omgblog, which may or may not feature a lot of NSFW and queer content, NTTAWWT, plus I run adblock so if you don't there may be a lot of NSFW banner crap) Here's a direct link to the runner's tumblr although not every drawing is about penises. Disappointing, I know.
40% of the people on the terror watch list have no terrorist ties
Then and now: pix of people and/or pets months/years apart -- I love this genre of photo. Similar mental space: Microsoft employees, Youngme/Nowme
In the 1970s, Scientists Discovered a 2 Billion-Year-Old Nuclear Reactor in West Africa
Ugly Science Pays Off: "Why it's worth spending $250,000 to study worm sex" (tl;dr: eradicating the pest saved the livestock industry billions of dollars, so who's laughing now...)
