I zoomed in on the chart so I could get a reasonably accurate diameter of the smallest (war) and the largest (heart and circulatory disorders); the difference in their areas is a factor of 1,764.
I think somebody is trying to drive a point home with overly dramatic graphics.
This may be deceiving. I’d like to see “old-age/used up” broken out from “Heart & circulatory disorders“. I suspect that a big chunk of that yellow circle is not “disorders” but rather reaching the end of a normal life span.
Perhaps a more informative view would causes of death of people under 60years old. In fact a series by decade (under 60, under 50, etc.) would give the real perspective.
Today’s Songs:
1. ‘Limbo Rock,’ 2. ‘Little Arrows,’ 3. ‘Little Town Flirt,’ and 4. ‘Lodi,’ and the ‘Cheap Thrills Cuisine’ recipe 5. Cinnamon Fruit Swirl’
1. The first released 1961 instrumental version by ‘The Champs’ (Wikipedia) is below (the poster, Footsteps 11, says 1962). Chubby Checker released his version with vocals in 1962 (‘Telstar’ kept it out of the number one spot).
2. It’s a silly little song, but I like it. Leapy Lee’s 1962 release never topped the charts, but Spanish singer, Karina, (as ‘Las Flechas del Amor’) took it to number 1 in Spain for six weeks in 1969 when she was 22 (it’s below / she’s still with us).
3. The ‘B’ side of this Del Shannon/Maron McKenzie song was ‘The Wamboo’, (if you listen to it you may, like me, think it should have been a ‘C’ side / it’s below).
4. John Fogerty chose Lodi, California as the song’s name because it had ‘the coolest sounding name.’. Lodi has gotten into the spirit, setting up events using the song as a theme.
5. I bought whipped topping once, it wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t what I expected. I’d use whipped cream, or use the mix as a topping for ice cream.

Must be a butcher shop nearby.
Flame on!!!
NOSE!

Not so much. That is kinda frightening for some reason. Lifeless.
The only thing I can come up with is this MAY be a wallpaper designed for Samsung.

Reading material entirely appropriate for a NYC pigeon.
I don’t know how to put this delicately…
Maybe it’s just an indelicate observation.
But considering the guidebook he’s reading… And yeah it’s probably about the food scraps and crumbs and such.
But considering what else pigeons like to do, as they fly about the city, and its monuments and points of interest…
And noting where he’s sitting in this picture…
Isn’t he… um… well…. wasting ammunition?

All those things cause death in perspective, eh? Who knew? Or even suspected?

They are just as amazing coming out of the water.
How do you know which he’s doing in this photo?
The fish in his beak is a bit of a clue as it doesn’t look like a flying fish 😉
And unless it’s a stunt Kingfisher, they don’t tend to enter the water backwards!
LOL!
I was half asleep and somehow thinking the picture was taken underwater, near the bottom.
But of course that makes no sense.
What she said! 😀
Do you mean he?
That has to be
Yes, seriously.
Pretty obvious one for anybody familiar with him as an adult.
His face has a well known “tell.”
Not only that, his expression and the angle of his head are also almost iconic.
Of course, if you don’t know him from his most famous role, it might not tell you much.
<spoiler>Or my favorite: Princess Bride</spoiler>
You might want to edit that…
But yes. He always stole the show.
🙁
I didn’t know until I read the comments.
I didn’t mean to imply that someone might not recognize him from all his other roles… Of course I remember him on film.
But that particular expression, and that other peculiar trait, seem linked to his arguably most famous role.
Your memory might trick you into remembering a different actor in those films….
But never in the one role that totally depended on his characterization.
i got1…!!!
🙁 not me
It took a moment, then the eyes.

NOSE!
Disobeying this usually results in the bear being deemed “dangerous” and being killed. It’s not fair!
Michael Sowa
NOSE, again!
I bet Claude put Cleo up to that just so he could make that pun.
Where does she get all that stuff?! Acme?
When she buys on her own credit card, she can order from Acme, famed supplier of weaponry to Comics Union card-carrying cartoon characters.
But when Clara or Claude is indulging her, they can’t buy from there.
Oh wait… Yes they can!
I keep forgetting…. they’re cartoon characters too.
Wait – what. They’re not real?!?
I know. Right?
Now if that was the only thing that happened to Claude….
(good find 🙂 )

What Cleo really represents is a rebel without parental control.
Actually, even “rebel” might be a misnomer.
Trotting out one threat after another, and meeting no resistance … can we call it rebellion when there’s no line to cross?
