You're pretty passionate about pie charts.

But apparently not as passionate as this author.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It is my fond hope that you be permitted to send the author this in response: [link]

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

She presumably typed that with a straight face.

I assume they wait for each issue of the journal with bated breath, praying it will bring another installment of their favorite author's work.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I hope it's this pie chart.

I might fight the senior editors to get that one left in.

Bahahahaha, the author emailed me and said "I have written to the editor-in-chief to request a waiver of a misguided rule. I know that you were only following orders, but omitting this figure hinders research."

Again, this is a PIE CHART. I mean, complex figures do exist (and we hatessss them, yes we do), and I could understand her outrage if we axed a really complex figure. But this figure is the equivalent of "Dogs: 43%; Cats: 43%; Lizards: 10%; Mothras: 3%; That Thing From The Neverending Story: 1%." WHAT THE SHIT LADY.

This is not a good day to fuck with me.
