Other Cool Stuff:
Economic Jokes	As mentioned above, our blog has a great economic jokes page that we update constantly. I think this is the best repository of good economics jokes out there. But, of course, I am biased.
FRED St. Louis Fed Data	The FRED (Federal Reserve Electronic Data) system maintained by the St. Louis Fed has almost any macro data series that you would ever want.
UCLA Stata Graph Examples and Code	This is a great web page hosted by UCLA Academic Technology Services that gives examples of great Stata graphs and the accompanying code to generate them. This is a great reference for making your figures sing.
UT Econ Dept. Intramural Sports	This is an old page that I couldn't let die. This link documents some of the best and worst performances in University of Texas Economics Department intramural history (from 2004 to 2007). Our best run was our undefeated basketball season (4-0) in Spring 2006. But the best single game performance was the last softball game of the regular season (April 10) of the 2007 softball season. Our best play ever was probably the hook-and-ladder that we pulled off for a touchdown in the Sept. 27 game of the 2007 football season.
