Visual Economics posted this infographic that shows the value of U.S. currency currently in circulation. The graphic also shows the life expectancy of each denomination of bills and it turns out that the $100 bill lasts about 7 years before being replaced.
Also, if you look at the bottom of the chart (not shown above), you’ll see how ridiculous the amount of pennies in circulation is.

Based on the work of Jess Bachman of WallStats, Picturelab created this infographic video to show just how far $1 trillion can go. It’s kind of scary how much money that is. [via]

Amir and Streeter both work at CollegeHumor and they’ve been involved in a very long series of prank wars that escalated to its peak about a year and a half ago when Amir made it seem like Streeter proposed to his girlfriend at a Yankees baseball game. Since then, there have been no signs of retaliation (or a prank-back) from Streeter and many assumed that Amir had won with the ultimate prank.
Well, not so. Streeter wrote on his blog yesterday that he had finally gotten Amir back for the Yankee stadium prank and the video was just posted on CollegeHumor.
Streeter rigged a Maryland basketball game so that Amir would be chosen as the person to take a blind shot at the basket for half a million dollars. The reaction from Amir is priceless when he thinks he actually made the shot and when it is revealed to him that Streeter was behind the whole thing.
If somehow you missed Amir’s Yankee stadium prank, it’s embedded below. I can’t wait to see what Amir has in store for Streeter.

Threadless is having an early holiday sale with a huge selection of tees at $5.
They’ve also got T-shirts on sale for $10 and $15. The pricing seems a bit random as the $15 tees aren’t necessarily better than the $5.
Anyway, get your shop on.
