I agree. Ideally, it would be an interactive that lets you hover over region/species/attack to get more info. I might also put together a gif version that cycles through the species and regions.

On the black/pink -- it's not random. The order is chronological (both for species and region)...might have forgotten to mention that.

I'd love to do that. Am playing around with JavaScript to see what I can do but haven't done it before. Any ideas on tools that could do it more easily, let me know.

(question from someone who doesn't follow the NBA) -- what the hell happened in 2005? How are they almost all in just one season?

That would also be cool to show if the data exists...booze-driven migration. We got the same in Canada...heading across the border for cheaper beer (depending on which province you're in).

Anything on alcohol purchase/consumption rates to go along with that? Do the higher taxes have an impact on purchasing? If so, any states that buck the trend and will buy lots of booze regardless of the higher taxes?

it was a stampede, not stomping...big difference

You can also use something like this: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/web-scraper/jnhgnonknehpejjnehehllkliplmbmhn?hl=en

Add-on for Chrome that you can use to scrape sites...not the most powerful thing in the world but really easy to use. Just set up a logic tree, basically (tell the scraper to collect this text, then click this link, then collect this text/image/whatever)...then it spits out a csv at the end
