The World Mood Chart. Just as the flapping of one butterfly's wing in San Diego could cause a typhoon in Taiwan, your "happy vibes" (or "pissy little snits") could change the daily course of humanity. Or not.

  • Apropos of absolutely nothing, the "Smiley Face" was designed by a firm in Worcester, Massachussetts (SP?), which coincidentally is the very same town I bought a house today! (I just wanted to tell somebody...)
  • This world mood chart is part of the companion site (Flash) for the completely awesome This Book Will Change Your Life, which I and a friend of mine have been following since New Year's. The task for tomorrow (Day 8) is to "cut out addictive substances for the day and see how much purer you feel." I choose the Internet.

    On the same page: "SPECIAL TIP FOR ANY BOOK OWNERS ADDICTED TO CRACK COCAINE: You may not feel purer immediately. Stick at this one for at least a couple of months to see the full lifestyle benefits."
  • Apropos of absolutely nothing, the "Smiley Face" was designed by a firm in Worcester, Massachussetts In my travels, during a mis-spent youth, I stopped at a local tavern and enquired as to the correct road for one seeking the town of WarChester. The patrons of the tavern, after many guffaws at the lost Martian, set me on the road to Woosta'.
  • Other Worcester Firsts: Shredded Wheat. Crescent Wrench.
  • Happy days in the new house, Dizzy.
  • Thanks, Bees! If you are ever in my neck of the woods, stop by-- the Pop Tarts are on me!
  • Congrats on the new digs, Dizzy! What a great way to usher in the new year.
  • Sheez I felt okay until I found out my influence was -0.502262443438916% ... I mean - what's the point?? Enjoy the house Diz!
  • wow, diz, that's a huge deal! congrats on the new house, and have much fun making it into a real home.
  • This world mood chart is part of the companion site (Flash) for the completely awesome This Book Will Change Your Life... I was gonna buy that for Christmas (for me...Yeah, I'm like that) but then I had to something really crap for my birthday so I decided not to. Now I feel bad.
  • Ditto, petebest. Finding out that my influence was a microscopic -0.3% pushed me from "deeply depressed" to "suicidal".

    Even World Mood Chart hates me :(
  • Mazel tov, dude. May your pipes never freeze and burst. Dow Jones Index. Your influence today: none How humbling.
  • World Mood Index Your influence today: -0.0333...% Yay! Top that! I mean, lower it! Congrats Dizzy!
  • See, I put myself almost at the top of the happiness scale, as I had a good day yesterday, and still it said that my mood had a negative impact on the general mood of the world. Strange.
  • "Today, fight for your right to party" Righto, I'm off.
