Disclaimer: This has not become a blog about poop. I know, I know. The last two posts have been about poop. But the first inspired the second. I had no choice but to create this infographic. This theory on the poop emoji might be as important as Newton’s theory of gravity.*
Though not necessarily the impetus to create this blog, I thought it poignant to mention I have Crohn’s Disease. This has led to a lifelong love/hate relationship with poop. If you share the information in this blog, first link to us–my boss nods his head approvingly– and also link to the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America. They do great work!
I have a strange fascination with Google Trends. Their relative-interest-over-time charts offer valuable insight into our Search Souls. And sometimes that insight is about poo. Or, more specifically, sh*t.

And with Better Call Saul being a direct spinoff from Breaking Bad, it’s easy to see the heavy correlation between The X-Files and Better Call Saul.
And it’s also easy to take a step back and marvel at the prolonged writing dominance of Vince Gilligan. This guy is like the Bill Belichick of TV. In honor of his excellence, we put together a handy infographic of his writing career:
