worst graphic of the day

Apparently they ran of of crayons before they colored the middle of the graphic…

That, or, based on adding up the segments they do show, they forgot how to write a label that says “other”.

    Having a few free minutes, Charles fired up the old classic ‘Tetris’ on his desktop. Life in the graphics department at the Grey Lady wasn’t bad but it sure wasn’t what he thought it would be.

    - Hello, Charles.

    Ai, the bosses boss, Mr. Pudgy. In his cube! Looking over his shoulder!

    - What’s that? Some kind of new graph system?

    Charles sputtered thought a few minutes of utter krep, hoping it sounded good. It did.

    - I like that, Charles. I like it a lot. I’ll talk to Ted and give you the assignment for that new article coming up. I want to see your new Pajitnov graphics scheme on more work around here – it looks great! And I’ll make sure you are given full credit for the work.

    Exit Mr. Pudgy.

    Charles put his head in his hands and moaned, softly.

    Er, “golden, greenish tunnel toward a brilliant white portal,” hello?

    The NYT often bewilders me, but if their sense of macabre humor ever went over my head, I’d quickly check my pulse and look for my prostrate body on the table below me.
