The Weekend, and Fun with Graphs.

Its official. I have too much time on my hands. I spent 3-4 hours last night looking at a website that used graphs to make amusing points. Sigh if you wonder if you are completely weird sometimes! *sigh* In any case, most of this post is going to be sharing some of these with you so I hope you can read a graph!

As for my weekend, it was pretty tame. I got to spend a lot of time with Charlsie, I got to cook a little this weekend (bacon and egg sandwiches with toasted bread. Totally yummy), and I finished the third season of Veronica Mars and was COMPLETELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE NETWORK BECAUSE THEY ENDED IT WITH A CLIFFHANGER AND BASICALLY GAVE EVERYONE WHO WATCHED IT THE FINGER!!!! Not that you care... but I'm going to rant about that for a minute.

Why do networks never realize what they have? I did research on it (I know, I'm a complete nerd) and the ratings for VMars were not only going up every consecutive season, but the ratings went up every episode in the third season. Basically, it was obvious that there was a growing fan base that wanted to know what was going to happen. But somebody at the network killed the show. AHHHHHH! Why!?!?!?!?! Then there was Firefly, I don't know how many of you watched that, but it was a western style sci-fi adventure that was nowhere near as crappy as that makes it sound. The characters were gold, the story had mucho potential, and it had some of the best graphics and sound that I have seen in a T.V. show in a long time. First of all, the network, Fox this time, made them air episodes out of order. Then it put the show in a crappy time slot. Then it moved the show between 3 crappy time slots and didn't show it consecutive weeks. Add that to the fact that the show is slightly confusing if you don't a) know sci-fi lingo or b) watch it from the beginning, and you have a recipe for a show doomed to failure. In spite of this, Firefly had such a following that the creator, Joss Whedon who is arguably best know for having created Buffy the Vampire slayer, made a high-budget movie in an attempt to tie up the loose ends the show had left in its 14 episode run. Why do network execs hate me? I don't know, but I'm going to hope they hear my stern words for them: OPEN YOUR EYES!

Ok rant over. Now on to the funny stuff. Consider this graph:
Yes, we all know about the classic, unwritten rule of hide and seek. Perhaps its the childlike excitement, maybe its all the activity, but it never fails. When you finally find the absolute perfect place to hide, you suddenly must pee. You could have been deprived of water for the last 13 days and this rule will still be true every time.

Now consider this:

Whomever made this flow chart is a personal idol of mine. Sarcasm? Check. Random idea? Check. Well executed? Check. Confusing enough to those who wouldn't have the first clue how to deal with it yet has the possibility of educating them? Check check. This is the first and only flow chart that has ever made me choke on a drink. That is how good it is.

Well for some reason I can't upload more of these to share with you. Just as well I guess. Don't want to over do the jokes. I'll share some more next post.
