Funny graphs – from GraphJam

[31 Jan 2011]

GraphJam uses pie charts, histograms and Venn diagrams to give us some really funny insights into the human condition.

Here is a sampling of their more family-friendly graphs:

falling asleep

 

computer issues

 

taste like chicken

 

textbook coverage

 

people who find you on facebook

 

tired

 

What GraphJam is doing in these graphs could be a great concept for a class project in statistics – to encourage students to be creative (almost always missing in math classes), have fun making others laugh, and learn something about expressing statistics in a visual way.

I’ll feature some more of these graphs in a later article.

Disclaimer: GraphJam is not always a family-friendly site. With that in mind, here is their link: Graphjam.
