Guess what the Graph Shows!

[Arneb]

Which why the dark grey area is labelled "external" . Drugs, such as LSD, would make a contribution to that part

Yes, absolutely, the graph shows the relative contributions of several conditions to total mortality. The total is always 100 %, so the graph ignores that, on an absolute scale, you are very much less likely to die in your 20s than in your 90s. The graph is for males only, but here is the site it was taken from - it is an interactive graph, which you can manipulate to show males, females, races, etc. Would you have thought that cancer (yes, the prple one) is the second highest cause of mortality in childhood, after accidents?

I'd say Lianachan gets the cigar and the right to put the next graph forward, and for Heid, we'll reserve at least a fine Cuban cigarillo (respiratory = 9 %)

Yikes, what a morbid graph that turned out to be.

[Arneb]

Yeah, th psychedelic colour want to make you forget the morbidity and mortality.

[Lianachan]

Someone else can take this one. I'm away at a conference for a couple of days.

[Arneb]

Wait, you are at a conference and can'T produce an interesting graph? What kind of conference is that?

[tubeswell]

Wait, you are at a conference and can'T produce an interesting graph? What kind of conference is that?

and what's more, what kind of a coincidence is that?

[Lianachan]

It's more to do with the unpredictability of my internet access. I'm posting this from a train, with bandwidth of 90's quality.

[Arneb]

I appreciate the hours of waiting you put in to make this one post.


Well. Anyone? Heid?

[Arneb]

Ok, then I've got one.

[tubeswell]

Seems like the ultimate challenge. Okay, I'll give it a go. A failed attempt to graph something?

[Arneb]

This is totally not a failed graph.

[tubeswell]

is the vector line above or below the x-axis? and to the left or to the right of the y-axis?

[Arneb]

There are no vectors and no axes in this graph.

[tubeswell]

Well I'll be Dayummed.

[Arneb]

No need.
Each dot in the graph is and individual event.

[Heid the Ba]

As an aside, since I have no idea about Arneb's, how are this motley crew ranked?

1 China
2 Great Britain
3 Ukraine
4 United States
5 Brazil
6 Australia
7 New Zealand
8 Netherlands
9 Uzbekistan
10 Nigeria

[Lianachan]

Something to do with the Olympics or Paralympics I would guess, as it uses the stupid name "Great Britain". Medals table, or some such.

[Heid the Ba]

No, yes and yes. The current Paralympic medal table.

There are no vectors and no axes in this graph.

But then, how is it a graph?

[Lianachan]

Something to do with a superposition of quantum states....

[Arneb]

There are no vectors and no axes in this graph.

But then, how is it a graph?

It is a graphical representation of certain events, a subgroup of which is coloured differently thatn the rest.

[Lance]

We gonna kneed cluz!

[Arneb]

We talked about something very similar in one of Mactep's graphs, and the topic treated has been in quite a few discussions here.

[Lance]

Size of some body part?

[Arneb]

No, no, the halfway serious dicscussions.
