Don’t you just hate it when you stumble upon a map, but you cannot place the time period of the geographies? Well if you haven’t, who cares, because xkcd has a great flowchart to help you anyway.

Well today has arrived and it is finally Friday. So if you are a Pennsylvanian like me, according to research by Estately (hat tip to a good friend and regular reader), the question I am likely asking is “When is X-Files?”. What did your state enquire of the Google?
I mean I liked the new series. Even if just for the rush of nostalgia.

Bonus points if you get the reference.
Friday is finally here and so for many that means it is time for the desserts and the drinks. But before you get that far, we all need to eat our fruits and vegetables. Thankfully the Washington Post has an article that examines changes in the appearance of our fruits and veggies over time.

I am not a big fan of fully justified text. I get it, in things like newspaper and narrow blocks of copy, it can make sense. Although in those situations, again, personal preference is flush left ragged right. But, for when you do have to fully justify your text, xkcd has a guide to deal with those tricky situations where you have very few characters on a line.

Happy Friday, all. Today’s piece is funny, but also hits fairly close to home. Not that I live in or near Nebraska. But I work near Excel spreadsheets.

Well Happy Friday, everyone. Today’s chart is a serious subject: the (brief) recovery of the S&P 500. But because this is Friday, take a look at the annotations on the chart.

Well today is Friday, so let’s leave the politics of this week behind and just enjoy the great United States of America.
Wait a minute…

Happy Friday, everybody. Just to lighten the mood a wee bit here is a chart about chipmunks from Last Week Tonight.

For those of you like myself from the East Coast—even if some of us have unfortunately moved away from civilisation—terms like Snowmageddon and Snowpocalypse draw upon memories of lots and lots of snow. So with all the hype about today’s snowstorm about to pummel the East Coast, the Washington Post took a look at the forecast range of snow and compared that to Snowmageddon.
Side note, as someone who it could be said uses a lot of purple in his work, I love the colour choices here.

Happy Friday, everybody. Today’s piece comes from Indexed. And yep, I have never walked in those shoes.
