Congratulations to the state of New York! They did what California has yet to accomplish (*sigh*).
By passing the marriage equality bill, they effectively DOUBLED the number of Americans who can enjoy same sex marriage! New York's state population is 19,378,102 according to the 2010 US Census. The population of the other five states (Mass, Conn, Iowa, New Hampshire, Vermont) plus Washington equal 15,671,450. Impressive indeed!
On that subject, I thought it'd be a good idea to take a look at how national perceptions of gay marriage have shifted in just one year!
Crazy that youngsters (18-34) changed 16%! In just one year! With the momentum from New York, expect these numbers to keep exploding! Great news!
awesome article/infographic by Cliff Kung explaining what happens to athletes if they don't get 10-12 hours of sleep per week:
and another infographic calling out specific athletes and telling how much they sleep. check out lebron and federer!
kung finishes the article posing the question - do athlets sleep so much b/c they need to be at their peak at all times. OR do they sleep so much b/c they have more free time than the general population?
I'd go with the former - you'd be surprised at how much athletes need to dedicate to their sport even when they aren't physically working out.
another awesome infographic about relationships. looks very similar to The so-called Sankey Diagram which was made most famous by the astonishing chart of Napoleon's disastrous invasion of Russia during wintertime:
remember - there are 3 million first dates every single day (!)
