Gratuitous Umlauts
Doogie Horner creates a classification system for heavy metal band names that pretty awesome (click to enlarge).
I saw it first at FlowingData, a website and blog about the graphical representation of data that I can't believe I have never visited before. Other cool graphics include the Walmart growth video. Lots of ways to waste time on this site, if you are a geek like me.
The "Death" entry does not have Chuck Schuldiner's DEATH, one of the few "death metal" bands to actually matter. FAIL.
It would help if the names were spelled correctly. Motley Crue should have an E at the end, Led Zeppelin is spelled wrong... it's not like these are bands nobody's heard of. It kills the amusement value a bit, but still kind of funny.
