Forgot about how easy it is to play with things in Processing. Code on the left, result on the right. I should learn more about it. I can't, however, figure out how I'm supposed to get the result onto Google's weird website templates.

Oooooh. Do they have all the cool little stylized icons like the cubist soldier to represent 1 million men under arms, or the little red car-like thing to represent a hundred thousand cars, or varying piles of dollar bills to represent, well, varying amounts of money?

'Cause I think those are the cool part of any infographic. It's where USA Today always wins...
