redbird: The words "congnitive hazard" with one of those drawings of an object that can't work in three dimensions (cognitive hazard)
( Nov. 18th, 2008 07:56 pm)
My employer has what we cheerfully refer to as the "science art library," meaning illustrations that they've had drawn for some past science book and can reuse: a trilobite, a triple beam balance, some graduated cylinders and thermometers, food chains, and an assortment of graph: a circle graph of where the planet's fresh water is, curves showing radioactive decay, some notional illustrations of things like ages of pine trees in different forests or the death rate of fish in a pond that is being over-fertilized. I was looking for a graph to use today for a practice question, where the point was graph reading rather than the specific content. Skimming through the library, I came across a line graph. Neat, boring, straight line rising from lower left to upper right, no units or other numbers.

The x axis is labeled "latitude."

The y axis is labeled "rabbits per liter."

My coworker and I were unable to come up with any explanation for what this might mean, or where it came from.

There's a thread on ML right now about poisons, and I asked where to get activated charcoal. Macdonald's answer is online, and he passed along a google search on the brand his EMT team uses, which is called Actidose. http://www.google.com/products?q=actidose&btnG=Search+Products&hl=en&show=dd
