It's too good not to share.

Fascinating stuff and an effective illustration. But what's the second-to-last caption about? It's not Arabic, though it looks like it. What...?

Cthulhuese?

Okay. I now officially love this infographic. Love. Big, Mariana-Trench-deep love. (Note: Because of the peculiarities of my computer screen, when I first looked at the graphic, I couldn't actually see Cthulu there in the darkness. Shift my screen again and--voila!--His Infernal Tentacular Highness appears!

Cthulhu was hard to see. I had my screen brightness set near max, and I had to squint.
