Wikipedia-ing New York

I never think to Wikipedia (verb) things that are familiar, like New York City.  Tonight, while waiting for someone to get back to me at work, I did.  Most of it is what you'd expect.  New York is the most densely populated city in America, 800 languages are spoken in New York, there are five boroughs in New York etc.  Nothing too spectacular, until...about a quarter of the way down there is a really really long panoramic picuture of Manhattan.  I've tried to save the picture to put on Dos Orange but this is how small it has to shrink in order to fit:

Pop Chart Lab

Lots of clever things come from Brooklyn these days, Pop Chart Lab being one of them.  I never knew I wanted a poster visualizing the migratory patterns of fresh princes until I saw this:


More awesome charts after the jump.

"Gettin crunk on brewskis with my broskis"

This is a fitting "first post" for me (J would concur). The amazing comedy duo Garfunkel and Oates put out a new video for their song, This Party Took a Turn for the Douche. The song is kind of amazing, as you can tell by these lyrics:
Did my last keg stand like General Custer
And I'm assessin' the damage like a claims adjuster

I ain't your Daddy but I'll call you son
Yeah I get metaphysical like fuckin' John Donne


There's also few things more gratifying than singing For the douche, for the douche For the motherfuckin douche!!!!!! If you want to feel cool, you can see their old-skool video, which I kinda prefer. See it after the jump.
