The best stats you have ever seen

I spend a lot of time pontificating on the need to improve data collections methods, but I think the same can be said for how we present data. In his TED talk about third-world myths, Hans Rosling shows us how great data visualizations can expose powerful new subplots in statistics we thought we understood. 

Warning: After seeing this you may no longer be able to use the standard Excel/PowerPoint charting tools without becoming acutely aware of how much they suck.
