WOW By the Numbers

WOW Insider alerts us to a graphic about various WOW stats:  How many quests finished per second, number of items, number of players, etc.  I am a bit skeptical as to how accurate the numbers are, but it is a fun thing to view.

UPDATE #3:  Tobold says "Hint: If the group needs to gather the new arrival at the entrance of the instance, using the eye icon next to your mini-map to first teleport out of dungeon and than back in is the fastest way to get everyone together at the entrance."

Clearcasting's Mouse of Doom

Arioch (who I believe plays a mage and priest) compensates for the loss of function in her left hand by key binding spells to her letters instead of numbers and uses the "Mouse of Doom" for other spells and functions.
