Check out a little nod to all the Saved by the Bell fans out there.  Do you recall Jessie Spano’s terrifying plummet into the harsh, painful world of caffeine addiction?  ;)  Nathaniel James does.  This hilarious infographic details the caffeine intake of Ms. Spano as the episode progresses.

Last but not least, take a look at this amazing infographic that explains the physics behind an unintentionally hilarious scene in an absolutely horrific movie, Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus.  The designer, again Stephen Taubman, detailed exactly how a massive 240 foot shark would be able to get enough speed up to launch itself in the air  and destroy an entire passenger jet.  Wow…
