"The seemingly impossible is possible."

A friend of mine once described his job as "the exciting time between getting two squiggly worms to meet". This is for him. Hans Rosling, the Orson Welles of Statisticians, presenting for TED. Brilliant. How it should be done.

In the professor's own words "I have a neighbour who knows 200 types of wine. The temperature, the grapes, everything. I know only two types of wine - the red and the white. But i know 200 types of economies."

What a finish. See it once, then again. Hans the mans.
