- There’s a story in the Bay of Plenty Times about the amount of money lost on the lottery in their area. Excellent.
- From the Data is Beautiful section at Reddit, a guy recorded and plotted his heart rate while proposing marriage
- From Calculated Images (via Wonkblog), the tides. Look at how the two tide peaks sweep clockwise around New Zealand

But it was a relatively high mean to start with – even eating the ice cream, when you’d expect a person to be still, he doesn’t get down to the typical human average of 72 bpm.
I think you would need a longer run to see what his “usual” average heart rate was rather than his “special occasion” average heart rate.
