Yet another great visualization from xkcd. It makes the proportions easier to process (and really shows the income disparities).
MONEY. A chart of (almost) all of it, where it is, and what it can do.
NOTE: This chart is entirely in 2011 dollars. Every value with a year associated before 2011 was adjusted for inflation using the Consumer Price Index. Nearly every amount has a cited source— when possible, a scholarly work or government publication. A list of sources is available at http://xkcd.com/980/sources/ (link’s not working but I’m assuming it’s either been assaulted with traffic OR he hasn’t posted it quite yet).

Beer production and consumption around the world. Not surprisingly, the Czechs, Germans, and Irish round out the top three, with Belgium in seventh place and the US in 13th.

Optical illusion that illustrates motion blindness. Makes me wonder just how much we miss seeing when we’re driving on the road.
