The above graph represents my percentage of time wasted over a period of time. The tick marks along the horizontal axis represent days; this data was taken from a six day project I worked on. As one can see, even at the point time is equal to zero I am able to waste one percent of my time. By the time the six day project is over I am able to waste 64% of my time. The data is best modeled by an exponential function with base two. A crack team of the best neural-scientists and psychologists at MIT are to this day baffled by this behavior and unable to determine what genes are linked to this destructive time wasting mentality. The graph does illustrate why given a long term project I have a tendency to not finish.

This graph represents predator vs. prey relationship; specifically Dingo and baby populations in Australia. "Darling, maybe the Dingo ate your baby.", is a common phrase in the vernacular of the Down Under region. The Dingo population is represented by the dashed green line, babies by the solid blue line. As baby populations spike Dingo populations rise, and shortly thereafter, baby populations drop. The baby populations appear to be sinusoidal while the Dingo populations are much more stable and hard to determine a functional relationship. A much longer study is under way which will cover a 20 year period in the hopes more data will shed additional light on the rise and fall of the Dingo population in connection with baby populations.
