The Money Chart

Randall Munroe at xkcd put together a chart about money, so massive that you'll have to enlarge a few times just to read it. The statistics cover what things cost, what people earn, business profits, taxes, government spending, utilities, war, and more. The amounts of money for each are laid out in blocks for comparison. That's a lot of blocks. What is shown here, as compressed as it is, is just a portion. Link -via Boing Boing
