Discovered with relish and and an extra helping of schadenfraude at Clack:
Man, falling approvals in the polls really suck!
I’ve seen these “falling figure” animations before, but this one made me laugh – every now and then, George gets stuck. You can use the mouse pointer to drag him between spheres and set him on his downward course again, or you can just drag him every which-a-way on the winds of change or public opinion polls or whatever. But when he gets stuck, it’s often in some anatomically impossible and rather disturbing position, and if you don’t drag him out of there, he just quivers slightly.
I also notice he tends to fall feet first most of the time – most of the weight is at the end farthest from his head. Which makes sense to me.
