Indeed: the slice of carrot cake I was offered at dinner time today looked adequate from my vantage point across the counter. When it arrived and I saw it undistorted by obscure perspective I praised their generosity while fearing the number of pounds I was going to have to walk off this weekend. <grin>

I can only thank the Graces that all the chocolate mud cake had already been scoffed by that time, and it was a slightly healthier option.

I am sure there is some appalling pun I can conjure about peekin' at Pecan and having a nutty perspective, but we might leave that alone.

Kind regards

David

Pie charts. Especially angled pie charts, exploded pie charts, and pie charts printed in something other than a 1:1 x:y ratio.
