google's public data explorer

[Robert Holmes]

I'm having way too much fun with Google's public data explorer. For example, Here's some interesting facts about causes of death in the US that I came up with after 10 minutes tinkering (if you live in a two storey house and you've got a full medicine cabinet, watch out...)

Anyone else got any graphics they want to share?

The cancer data set is interesting in that there are fewer skin cancers in NM than one might expect:

Wow!  I'm saved.  I live in a one story house and I keep my medicines in an old tangerine box. 

 

Whew!
