For statisticians, pie charts are a useful tool for presenting data in an easy to understand format. However, an even better use for pie charts is for making daft jokes on the internet!
With that in mind, this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog features another collection of silly pie charts.
This first pie chart owes its inspiration to the wisdom of Yoda.
"Your choices, as per Yoda."
2) Pyramid pie chart
Here's an old silly pie chart, but it's one of my favourites, so here it is again!
There is nothing more frustrating than being forced to update your software, especially when it works fine, only to find that the updated version turns out to have loads of problems! So with that in mind, I can totally relate to this next silly pie chart.
"Reasons why I update software."
This next pie chart asks an interesting question, and also provides a scientifically accurate answer which I'm sure most people will agree with.
"If you punch yourself and it hurts, does that make you strong or weak?"

5) Governments
As incredible as it seems, there are actually some people out there who think our governments don't always act with honorable intentions. Wow! Incredible! I can't believe anyone would ever question the integrity of our above reproach leaders and our definitely not compromised government experts who absolutely always act in our best interests. **shifty eyes**
