Yesterday I presented a flowchart of candy bars. But I think a flowchart is not the best way to show the variations of candy bars and their ingredients.
What is the best way?
A Venn diagram!
I suppose it would be more appropriate to call this an Euler diagram rather than a Venn diagram, but not many people know or care about the difference.
I took the little book out of the angel’s hand and ate it, and in my mouth it was sweet as honey; and when I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter.
Revelation 10:10
Some of you may have ignored this post when you saw that the title contains the word flowchart. But that would mean that you’re not reading this, so why am I bothering to explain that?
Here is a flowchart that documents the choices among candy bars, in case you are overwhelmed at the grocery check-out.
Transcript (although it’s hard to type a flowchart in plain text) :
Which candy bar is right for you?
Do you like chocolate?
Do you like peanuts?
Do you like caramel?
Do you like peanut butter?
Do you like a lot of peanuts?
Do you like nougat?
Do you even know what nougat is?
Do you like crunchy stuff?
that sticks to your teeth?
Do you like coconut?
(I’m not going to bother listing the various candy bars)
So I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little book. And he said to me, “Take it and eat it; it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.”
Revelation 10:9
Because there aren’t enough things on the internet yet…
Go visit Social Biblia.
Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, ‘ Write all the words which I have spoken to you in a book.
Jeremiah 30:2
This episode involves Gamma. Enjoy!
I: Don’t tickle his eyes!
I think I was worried that someone’s cornea would be scratched. Sometimes the kids don’t know how to be gentle.
Gamma: When my head gets bigger it will look like your head
I: Yes, when you grow up, that should be the case.
Fans of Space Ghost Cartoon Planet should be thinking of a certain skit right now…
Gamma: Mommy, I put my finger in the plug and it didn’t hurt.
Thanks a lot, whichever children’s book had the lesson about not touching outlets. Now my child will doubt any other warnings we may give him. I can guess his future:
“Look, I’m reading in the dark and my eyes don’t hurt!”
“Hey, I ran with scissors and nothing happened!”
“I played ball in the street and no cars hit me.”
It’s all about risk, son, and probabilities.
Scene: the dinner table, with everyone eating nicely
Gamma: I making water!
I look over and see that he has a fistful of ground beef and he is squeezing it so that the grease drips on the table. Exclamations and a hasty clean-up commence.
You have crowned the year with Your bounty, And Your paths drip with fatness.
Psalm 65:11
No explanation necessary:
Therefore, behold, I will hedge up her way with thorns, And I will build a wall against her so that she cannot find her paths.
Hosea 2:6
In case you missed this exchange after the halftime show of the Super Bowl, I have noted what Cris Collinsworth and Al Michaels had to say about it. It seems they missed the first part of the show.
Transcript:
Cris: Who was that warm-up act for the Super Bowl halftime show?
Al: I don’t know, but he had a bad attitude
Cris: That’s true – he was being such a pre-Madonna!
Thus they were haughty and committed abominations before Me. Therefore I removed them when I saw it.
Ezekiel 16:50
There are versions of Monopoly for all sorts of things. It has more variations than you can count, it seems.
First it was the cities: Monopoly Chicago Edition, Monopoly Denver Edition, etc.
Next it was the colleges: Michiganopoly, Gatoropoly, Stanfordopoly, etc.
Then it was the movies: Monopoly Indiana Jones Edition, Monopoly Star Trek Edition, Monopoly Three Stooges Edition, etc.
I thought that was it for the variations.
Then I saw this:
I’m sure that might be fun for some people. But then I got to thinking – when would you actually play this?
If you play this at home, then I’d think you need better ways to relax. Don’t bring work stuff home with you. Plus, where would you find other people with whom you could play the game?
And if you’re playing this at work, where the other people would appreciate the game, then you obviously don’t have enough to do and are risking getting your hours cut.
Either way, I can see why I never knew about the Supply Chain Edition of Monopoly before.
Therefore because you impose heavy rent on the poor And exact a tribute of grain from them, Though you have built houses of well-hewn stone, Yet you will not live in them; You have planted pleasant vineyards, yet you will not drink their wine.
Amos 5:11
