12 Cool Diagram Posters

I was searching for some cool posters that featured interesting diagrams, tables or charts. Here's twelve. Which is your favorite?

Basic Nunchaku Kata poster
from martial arts supermarket
First Maps of the Internet
from thinkgeek.com
Genalogy of Jesus poster
from Rose Publishing
2006 Moon Phase Calendar poster
from astrosociety.org
Bible Timeline Chart
from Bible Lights Publishing

I think my favorite is the moon phase calendar for its simplicity.

The criteria I used for this list was I asked myself, "Would I want to hang this on my walls?" If you find any interesting diagram posters, please leave a link in the comments. Thanks.

some of the headers on these posters are pretty lame. I would cut the top off on the "Death and Taxes" and "Cloud Chart". And I would trim off all four sides on the :Basic Nunchaku Kata" and "First Maps of the Internet."

I've had the moon phase calendar before. That's pretty cool.

I think they're all great.

If i had to pick one to hang on my wall, it would be the Basic Nunchaku Kata Poster. So when people see that poster, they would know not to mess with me, the Nunchaku Kata masta! kooo poow!

I'm digging that 1980s (or 1970s) 3d effect on the headline, too.

The poster is only $2.50, but they charge $8.00 to ship it. I hate that!

The graph of Napoleon's march into and out of Russia has always amazed me. It plots the size of the French army from the time of leaving France until its return -- against time *and* temperatur.

I like that Chicago Bridges poster. I've actually owned it before. I didn't have it in a nice frame though and it didn't make the last move
