I like this explanation of the fourier transform in terms of (un)making banana smoothies:
http://betterexplained.com/articles/an-interactive-guide-to-the-fourier-transform/
and this review of Nate Silver's "The Signal and the Noise":

Hmmm well once they get down to the categorical "don't trust the experts" I'm not sure I agree. But some of the critique of the book I agree with.
