The problem with graphs is, if you turn it around or upside down, they tell a completly different story. And who's to say you have it the right side up.

"There are only three kind of lies in the world: white lies, damn lies, and statistics"

Graphs do not create statistical anomalies people do.

Graphs are a representation of those anomolies, and graphs can misrepresent, misalign, misinform, or even misplace those anomalies.

Ok after my last comment, I realised I definitely need sleep Lol

So on that

TOP 10 REASONS TO STUDY ECONOMICS

1. Economists are armed and dangerous: "Watch out for our invisible hands."
2. Economists can supply it on demand.
3. You can talk about money without every having to make any.
4. You get to say "trickle down" with a straight face.
5. Mick Jagger and Arnold Schwarzenegger both studied economics and look how they turned out.
6. When you are in the unemployment line, at least you will know why you are there.
7. If you rearrange the letters in "ECONOMICS", you get "COMIC NOSE".
8. Although ethics teaches that virtue is its own reward, in economics we get taught that reward is its own virtue.
9. When you get drunk, you can tell everyone that you are just researching the law of diminishing marginal utility.
10. When you call 1-900-LUV-ECON and get Kandi Keynes, you will have something to talk about.

Econ humor = best humor (unless non-humor is part of the set)

As someone who has had econ on the brain lately (writing a paper on the neural mappings involved in asymmetric dominance and curse of knowledge) this was a welcome relief.

Nerfing High-sec is never the answer. It is the question. The answer is 'YES'.

An economist, a philosopher, a biologist, and an architect were were arguing about what was God's real profession. The philosopher said, "Well, first and foremost, God is a philosopher because he created the principles by which man is to live." "Ridiculous!" said the biologist "Before that, God created man and woman and all living things so clearly he was a biologist." "Wrong," said the architect. "Before that, he created the heavens and the earth. Before the earth, there was only complete confusion and chaos!" "Well," said the economist, "where do you think the chaos came from?"
