This is very funny and clever, but also has serious lessons for powerpoint users I think:

  1. While we are on powerpoint, it is irresistible to add a link to a wonderful piece of provocation from Edward R. Tufte, professor emeritus of political science, computer science and statistics, and graphic design at Yale University, called 'Powerpoint is Evil'. Beware, he is not joking! See http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/11.09/ppt2.html

    Tufte has produced some brilliant and beautiful publications on the graphic presentation of data, such as: The Visual Display of Quantitive Information, and Envisioning Information: see http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/
