Everything Explained Through Flowcharts: All of Life's Mysteries Unraveled, Including Tips for World Domination, Which Religion Offers the Best ... the Secret Recipe for Gettin' Laid Lemonade
  Kgarts | Sep 16, 2023 |
Oh my God, he is SO right. Here I was the other day reading:

"Hardly anybody watches beauty pageants any more, but everybody watches beauty pageant scandal coverage"

They DO? I thought? When have I ever done that?

But just now, dear reader, I found myself clicking on this:

Police investigate third beauty pageant brawl
http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/04/27/3201042.htm

Shit. How did he know I'd -?

----------

I've been eating breakfast and giggling at this.

I'm not a flowchart sort of girl, so I find myself gravitating to the text more than the charts as I dip into it.

Doomsday Scenarios:


Nobody wants to spend their afterlife telling other spirits 'How did I die? Well, the earth's temperature climbed half a degree every year for twenty years, which doesn't seem like much, but that increase significantly increased the amount of algae in the oceans, which upset the foodchain and blabbity-blab blab boring scientific stuff.' The biggest reason to fight global warming is so we can obliterate ourselves in a flashier way, like by creating a minature black hole or zombie plague.


Dethroned or Disgraced Beauty Queens:

This is a bar chart in the book:



Figure 1: Why aren't We Watching Beauty Pageants?

A Not enough nudity 13%
B Jealous 25%
C Don't Like Beauty 2%
D Too busy working three jobs and raising five children alone since our husband left...because we weren't pretty enough 8%
E Shark Week 20%
F Don't like the 'Interview' part 30%
G Busy writing our doctoral thesis on women's studies 10%



Maybe one of those stars is for effort. A book like this can't make you snort your weeties every time you read it, but.

Okay, then, Zeppelin Warfare:



Zeppelins are massive, majestic flying machines, but they are also notoriously fragile: Strong winds cause considerable difficulties for zeppelins, landing is dangerous even in perfect weather and requires a large ground crew, and of course early zeppelins were filled with highly flammable hydrogen gas. Some zeppelins were known to burst into flames if a passenger ordered their Bloody Mary with extra tabasco, or said a word that sounded similar to 'fire.' During a routine flight to Switzerland, a young zeppelin intentionally smashed itself against a mountain peak because it was going through a difficult breakup.


I wish I could show the flowchart for Zeppelin Warfare, it's hilarious. There is a lot of schnapps drinking. ( )
