This discovery inspired a line of t-shirts "based on statistics that people should be aware of. This way people would become walking billboards for these stats, and they would help spread the word. The hope is that once you see these numbers, you can't help but want to change them." The designs are great, and as an owner of 2 of them, I've told the story to quite a few interested punters at the pub who've asked what the graphic means.
