Worst Jobs in History EVER


You thought your job sucked. Think again. Be thankful you work at Taco Bell. Here's a bit of a matrix for all you graph junkies out there. Believe us when we say your job doesn't suck that bad, and remember next time you complain about your service job...just remember you get to take breaks, have your favorite beverage, and go home after 8 hours. Try these jobs on for size. Just click on the photo and you can enlarge to take a closer look at what hell is.

A Very Cool Map


A History of the World in 100 Seconds from Gareth Lloyd on Vimeo.

This is pretty neat. The creator explains it:

Many wikipedia articles have coordinates. Many have references to historic events. Me (@godawful) and Tom Martin (@heychinaski) cross referenced the two to create a dynamic visualization of Wikipedia's view of world history. Watch as empires fall, wars break out and continents are discovered. 

 And watch as students plagiarize wiki to get C minuses on their history papers.
