“in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” – Ben Franklin
At some point we have all heard some variation of this quote, and if not you just have. This rings true especially this weekend as the procrastinators out there wait till the last minute to pay their tithes to Uncle Sam. But I do wonder if most people really think that death and taxes the only things can be said to be certain. I think not. Here is my proposal for other items to be added to this list, with my filtered view of the world through my web analytics tinted glasses.

Pie charts will never die. As much as some folks hate them, there are those that equally love them. Crazy people that use comic sans and IE6.
