INFOGRAPHIC: See Which Movie Archer Fired The Most Arrows
Merida, Hawkeye and Katniss may have brought archery back into the limelight in the past year with their respective box office hits; however, they're not the only archers in film.
Last month, the fine folks over at Jest compared the stats of fictitious archers in films after the release of Disney and Pixar's "Brave."
Though it appears Hawkeye leads the pack with nearly two dozen arrows shot, if you add up Legolas' totals from the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, he beats out "The Avengers" hero with a cumulative total of 55.
Compare the arrows shot by various Robin Hoods, Rambo, Katniss and more below:

INFOGRAPHIC: The Evolution Of American Currency
We've used just about everything as money through out the years, including livestock and shells. But for the past few thousand years it has been all about paper and coin currency.
Of course, that began to change less than 100 years ago with the advent of the charge card. Now with the evolution of online shopping and smartphones, we are starting to transition away from traditional money and into a cashless society.
Sometimes it's nice to look back at how far we've come. To see, the evolution of our money check out the graphic from Intuit below:

Mexican Drug Cartels Have Infiltrated All Of These US Cities
Mexican drug cartels have infiltrated most major cities in the U.S.
The National Post used a Justice Department report to track the routes and goods of various cartels.
For instance, cartels can procure meth supplies in Asia, manufacture the drug in Mexico and then ship it up to middle America. The majority of cocaine, stereotypically a Columbian drug, now comes from Mexico.
The Gulf Cartel spreads out east of Texas, making appearances in cities from Columbus, Ohio, to Raleigh, North Carolina. The cartel was responisble for the alleged beheading deaths of rival gang members last month. With more drugs, profit and return comes more danger--deaths have spiked severely since 2007.
The graphic, posted to visual.ly, also breaks down drug deaths by region.

INFOGRAPHIC: The Most Influential Thinkers In History And How Their Ideas Are Connected
Brendan Griffen at Griff's Graphs put together an awesome infographic mapping the connections between influential thinkers and which other philosophers, authors, economists, comedians, and the like have been influenced by their ideas throughout history.
Zoom to see the web of thinkers and how they are all connected:
Here is Griffen's explanation of how he constructed the map:
In short, I used a database version of Wikipedia to extract all people with known influences and made this map. The bigger the node, the bigger influence that person had on the rest of the network. Nietzsche, Kant, Hegel, Hemingway, Shakespeare, Plato, Aristotle, Kafka, and Lovecraft all, as one would expect, appear as the largest nodes. Around these nodes, cluster other personalities who are affiliated (depends on distance). Highlighting communities by colour reveals sub-networks within the total structure. You’ll notice common themes amongst similarly coloured authors.

This Is How Much It Would Cost An Average Person To Be Batman
Ever wonder how much it would cost to dress up as the caped crusader?
For the release of "The Dark Knight Rises," MoneySupermarket.com estimated how much we would need to shell out to become Gotham's silent guardian.
The infographic breaks down the costs of Batman's armor, gadgets, vehicles, and even Alfred's pay per year. (We're not sure why special firearms training costs are on the list when Batman's number one rule is no killing, and especially no guns. Well, except for these times.)
The total comes to a staggering $682 million, an amount that is no issue to a member of Wayne Enterprises, estimated at a total of $7 billion (before the final film at least).
We'll stick to the cape and cowl.

This Is How Much It Would Cost The Average Person To Be Iron Man
Last week, we told you the price it would cost the average person to dress in cape and cowl and don the Batsuit. Moneysupermarket.com deduced it would set you back a hefty $682 million–including the price of Wayne manor.
After Batman's hefty price tag was revealed, we couldn't help but wonder how much it costs the other self-made superhero to sustain his crime fighting hobby.
The people at MoneySupermarket put together another infographic modeling the cost to be Marvel's billionaire playboy, Tony Stark.
Though his house may be a bit cheaper at $25 million, one suit alone costs a massive $110 million. Granted, a small amount of this includes a great deal of cars—something that doesn't aid Stark's pursuit in fighting crime. All we're missing is his custom CGI private jet mock up (originally a Boeing 737 Business Jet).
All together, Tony Stark's Iron Man costs him more than $1 BILLION, making Wayne's millions look like nickels and dimes in comparison.
We suggest this printable Iron Man mask, instead.
