Getting a few zeds
Birth notice of note in today's paper: Kaszidee, sister of Zakary and Alexzander. I think they're a family of bees.
I've been having fun playing with Gapminder this afternoon. I now know that Luxembourg has the best teeth in the world, and that Equatorial Guinea has a considerably higher average income per person than South Africa. I do love a good graph. One of the example graphs on the site shows life expectancy against family size: put on the time tracker and watch life expectancy rise and family size shrink. What's really startling watching that graph is every now and then one country's bubble plummets like a falling star as its life expectancy drops: Cambodia, Timor-Leste, Rwanda.
Also, I don't like the look of the beta profile page. Just in case anyone was wondering.
