It’s been posted all over the Internet but this is the oldest version I could find. There’s news articles about it too, such as: https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/03/11/stars-wars-emperor-palpatine-babys-ultrasound-scan-picture_n_2852674.html

I took an odd journey to get to this source. The actual graphic posted here is rotated and some of its colors were changed. The source for the visualization is this reddit post which links to the WSJ article. According to comments on the reddit post, the visualization pulled from charts from the second archive link, but I can’t find them in the non-paywalled WSJ article (and I can’t access the original article since I’m not subscribed to the WSJ).

I’ve used a similar project in the past: https://github.com/DrewThomasson/ebook2audiobook

It’s cool that more options are becoming available for ebook to audio conversions.

Origin of “long pig”, copied from this Reddit comment:

I think you might be right. In A St. Johnston's Camping among Cannibals (which the OED quotes in its etymology of the term), he describes how:

The expression "long pig" is not a joke, nor a phrase invented by Europeans, but one frequently used by the Fijians, who looked upon a corpse as ordinary butcher's meat, and call a human body puaka balava, " long pig," in contradistinction to puaka dina, or " real pig."

Which makes it sound like they were just distinguishing between the length of pigs and people.
