Information seems to have something of a stormy relationship with us humans. Without focused collections of information, we wouldn't be able to appreciate the beauty of human existence as it is now. The works of all those who came before us paved the way for scientific advancement.

But we can all agree that absorbing information into our think-meat isn't always straightforward; sometimes a splash of color or maybe a compilation of cute graphics is required to help us manage with the insertion of entertaining facts into our decaying, withered brain folds.

Data is just beautiful. Or rather, it CAN be, if someone takes the time to actually represent it in a nice, easy-to-digest infographic like these ones.
