I wanted to make a visualization using the survival numbers for Stepehen Jay Gould's cancer in _The Median is Not The Message_. It might be a good way to see, and remember "right-skewed" and be an anecdote for use in the introductory section "Why learn statistics" at the start of a course. But I don't know how to get the numbers so I'll follow the suggestion to use Japanese age data for a left-skewed example.
