Where the sinners live

Clever idea and a cool infographic:

A team at Kansas State generated maps of the prevalence of the seven deadly sins across the US. They used indirect measures; for example, a high incidence of STDs in an area is indicative that the sin of "Lust" is rampant there.

So, what's going on in your area?

  2. Looking at those maps would suggest that not much happens in saintly Nebraska. Imagine being a news anchor there: "This breaking news story just in; nothing happened today. The forecast for tomorrow is for nothing more to happen."
