Silly pie charts

If you were to believe the dictionary, a pie chart is 'a circular statistical graphic divided into slices to illustrate percentages'. However, as everyone knows a pie chart is actually an opportunity for silliness and daft jokes!

So with that in mind, here are a few silly pie charts...

1) Pac-Man


Our first pie chart takes a look at retro video games...

"Are pie charts that look like Pac-Man cool?"

Pac-Man, yeah.

10 nerd jokes (Part 86 - (8 x 10))

A nerd, pictured yesterday.

Nerd jokes appeal to my nerdish sense of humour, so as it's been over a year since my last collection of nerd jokes, here's another batch of nerdish puns...

1) I failed my maths exam because I couldn’t remember how to write 1, 1000, 51, 6, and 500 as Roman numerals.
IM LIVID



2) How do you turn a 3D printer into a 4D printer?
Just give it time.

True or false: Unusual potato crisp / chip flavours

March 14th is National Potato Chip Day*1 so to celebrate, this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog takes a look at unusual crisp*2 flavours from around the world. However, as I often like to do, I've made things a bit more interesting by turning it into a true or false quiz.

*1 That's 'crisps' for the benefit of any British readers.

*2 Or 'chip' for the benefit of any American readers.

Chocolate miners digging for chocolate to be used
as flavour for chocolate flavour crisps.
Take a look at the following flavours and see if you can guess whether they're real flavours that you can actually buy, or whether they're fictitious inventions that I've totally made up!

1) Chocolate flavour crisps


I tried chocolate flavour crisps once when I was on holiday in Thailand, and although I like chocolate, and I also like crisps, I have to report that this is one example where two rights make a wrong, because they tasted absolutely disgusting.

But is it a real flavour, or have I just made it up?

True or false?

Funny courtroom quotes (part 2)

One of my previous blog posts which received a lot of page views was my round-up of funny courtroom quotes. I'm a firm believer in listening to the demands of the market, so with that in mind, here's another batch of amusing quotes from lawyers who weren't exactly the sharpest tools in the box.

N.B. The following quotes are all taken from official court records.

"If he had a beard, then of course he was a man!"

1) Bearded lady?


Lawyer: "Can you describe the individual?"
Witness: "He was about medium height and had a beard."
Lawyer: "Was this a male or a female?"
Witness: "Unless the circus was in town, I’m going with male."

Surely the fact that the witness described him as 'he' should have been a big clue. Oh, and also the fact that he had a beard of course!
