Numbers
by Jeff
Image text: The typical internet user (who wants to share) has an IQ of 147 and a 9-inch penis. Well, better than the reverse, I guess.
Let's start at the top. The first search is from the song "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall" in which every line is the same except the song starts at 99 and goes until the end at 1 bottle of beer on the wall.
The next six are self explanatory: number of boyfriends, grade level, penis size, bra cup size, age without having a boyfriend and number of glasses a day of water.
The next graph is a reference to Star Trek: The Next Generation in which Captain Picard is tortured when asked how many lights are behind the interrogator. There are 4 lights, but Picard is tortured when he answers four. The torturer wants Picard to admit there are 5. This has turned into an internet meme, of course.
The next graph is a reference to the Jay-Z song "99 Problems" in which the chorus is: "I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one".
The last graph is a graph of people googling what they consider their IQ number of google results for each IQ number. The image text references the high point on both the IQ and Penis graphs.

“The last graph is a graph of people googling what they consider their IQ”
Not to nit pick (ok, yes, to nit pick), but the graphs show the number of google hits, not searches. Apparently at least 1M people have published somewhere online that they have an IQ of 147. In this case, I bet it is a result of the “fast and accurate IQ tests” advertised all over the place. Try scoring a 100 on one of those some time; it’s a lot harder than scoring off the charts.

Yup, I mixed that one up. Thanks for the correction.

Also noticed that most of these are on a logarithmic scale rather than a linear one. Those ones IMO would look MUCH funnier on a linear scale…

It’s worth noting that the “four lights, five lights” thing from Star Trek was originally used in the torture scene in 1984.

Interesting, I wonder what the statistics are on your first point there…

Alright, now who wants to explain the various maxima and minima in the graphae?
