That doesn’t look like Pac Man.

What is this measuring?
December 4, 2007 at 2:51 pm
Its measuring Pie – though not sure in what context. Perhaps internet searches?
December 4, 2007 at 3:39 pm
perhaps consumption of different t ypes of pie?
December 4, 2007 at 4:17 pm
I can understand kids eating mud pies, but 24 blackbird pies? PI pies? American Pies?
December 4, 2007 at 4:23 pm
They forgot the creampie.

Where’s the hair pie?
December 4, 2007 at 4:51 pm
Hair Pie – FTW

My, my miss American pie/
Drove the Chevy to the levy/
but the levy was dry
December 4, 2007 at 5:43 pm
I think you mean:
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie.
Drove my Chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.

Still don’t get the blackbird pie thing
December 4, 2007 at 6:22 pm
Half pepperoni, half pumpkin.

Wait, whut? No, no, no, this is wrong.
Apple > shepherd’s > Steak and kidney.
Lemon meringue > 4 and 20 blackbirds.
And to be technically accurate, Pi should be infinite, thereby making all other relative pie sizes infintesimally small…

@CMooreHead
Yep, that’s what I meant. Not bad from memory for a song I haven’t heard in years. No excuse for misspelling levee however.

The number pi represents is itself never ending, but the capacity that it represents is not infinite. i believe that is represeneted mathematically by i.
And since the formula d=pi*r squared, then pi’s actual “size” quantification would vary with every pie, same percentage, but different size.
Anyway, regardless of math (always my weak point) it’s still imperfect. Rage 0 and CMoorehead had the right idea.

AHA! your weakness in mathematics is showing! For if you were an astute student of mathematics, you would have realized that the value of pi as represented by this pie chart, represents not the actual value of pi, but rather the frequency with which pi is encountered in relation to all of the other pies listed. Since each and every one of these pies is usually prepared in a round crust, it would be a fair assessment to say that they all incorporate pi in their construction, thereby making the vast majority of them a subset of the pi section of the pie chart, which would render the proportion of any remaining pies infinitesimally small by comparison.
BTW if any you should feel the need to have me whacked, please wait until after Christmas. Preferably after I’ve had some have apple pie, shepherds pie, and a healthy serving of lovemuffin pie…
BTW @Case
The blackbirds came from this nursery rhyme:
Sing a song of sixpence a pocket full of rye,
Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened the birds began to sing,
Oh wasn’t that a dainty dish to set before the king?
The king was in his counting house counting out his money,
The queen was in the parlour eating bread and honey
The maid was in the garden hanging out the clothes,
When down came a blackbird and pecked off her nose!

With all the porn on the interent they forgot creampie.
December 5, 2007 at 9:29 am
Aye, Creampie is misrepresented – they could easily incorporate it though, put it in there dripping from the middle.

lol’d at phyreblade. Nice.
