unfortunately is it incorrect. There is no pure “b”, “c”, or “d” on this chart as they are all part of the system “a”, so it should be corrected to be “ab” “ac” and “ad”.
errr
Math fail
back to grade school for you
algebra and set theory are two distinct disciplines of maths (pretty much as unrelated as you can possibly get with in the field)
Actually, if you go back and re-read Russell& Whitehead’s “Principia Mathematica”, you’ll discover that they basically defined algebra in terms of set theory. They’re more related than you think. (Hint – you can’t do much with “algebra” unless you have defined things like plus, minus, multiply, divide – which are easiest to define in terms of group theory
over various sets of numbers (integers, rationals, irrationals, complex, etc).
It was not until proposition *110.643, on page 83 of the second volume of
Principia Mathematica that Whitehead and Russell were able to prove that
1 + 1 = 2, let alone that 2 + 2 = 4. (In a book not otherwise noted for
its humour, it is interesting to note that immediately below the proof
is the following remarkable understatement: “The above proposition is
occasionally useful. It is used at least three times …”)
Hokay. I come onto the graphs page cause all the rest of the pages are awesome, but this is the first one that I’ve ever really found funny. Just sayin, I set a high bar, and you beat it! ^^
Unfortunately, there is a more major fail here…..
B, C, and D are not necessary subsets of A, therefor those fields should have some portion outside of A.
(It is possible to fly, be impossible to get rid of, or be ex-human and not suck blood)
This’un should be on failblog… titled “Making Sense Fail”
You = reading chart fail.
It’s just a complicated chart, it’s not impossible to read.
Indeed. Here we have a Venn Diagram chart by someone who actually knows how they work. You win ideambulate!
it’s not readable, this shows only half a Venn diagram or so… it shows
A
AB
AC
AD
ABC
ABD
ACD
and ABCD
it’s missing
B
C
D
BC
BD
CD
and BCD
It doesn’t fail at making sense, but it fails readability. Bigger circles, fit the text inside, and everyone would be happy.
It’s a good graph, though.
lawers can fly!
No! I bet there’s going to soon be a plague of flying, blood-sucking lawyers quite soon. Argh!
I think it’s pretty funny and clever as well.
I thought it was a hoot! BTW, I’m so impressed that you didn’t put FIRST!
Brilliant!

what are u a albgra teacher

Enough with this terrorist propaganda!
How dare you insult America with open talk of Al-Jibra!
Oh, great…now my head hurts…
NO U
C-C-C-COMBO BRAKER!
I was going to point out the same thing.
And no, I am not an algebra teacher, sarcasmo. :-p
Hey, man, the point is over that way. If you hurry you might be able to catch up to it.
FIRST… really not as important as some folks make it out to be… but I was, I suppose…
Looks like I spoke too soon… tard.
A Mosquito Vampire Lawyer!!!
F***!
I kinda want to see what BCD could’ve been.
Superman.
but supes is not really ex-human, is he?
When did Superman start sucking blood?
“BCD” is everything BUT sucking blood.
Zombies on a plane?
I’m TIRED of all these MOTHERF***ING ZOMBIES on the MOTHERF***ING PLANE!!!

Don’t you know that all attorneys can fly? It’s a requirement for passing the bar.
I don’t get it, what’s the ABCD?
F***!
In case anyone is interested, I’ve put up a near-poster-quality version of the graph at my website.
Fun all around.
great job. all snark aside.
Excellent graph. Even if there are always people who seem to miss the point.
ABCD should be politicians
AC would be politicians
Slightly confusing to read, but very funny.
Hokay. I come onto the graphs page cause all the rest of the pages are awesome, but this is the first one that I’ve ever really found funny. Just sayin, I set a high bar, and you beat it! ^^
ABCD various in laws
Excellent – well thought out and funny. I’m impressed.
I agree with Jeff.
ideam – You have surpassed all and all to follow.
I’m in love…

B, C, and D are not necessary subsets of A, therefor those fields should have some portion outside of A.
(It is possible to fly, be impossible to get rid of, or be ex-human and not suck blood)
Those portions are probably in some other part of the third dimension of the space through which the graph slices.
Not very coherent – and also a rip-off of indexed.blogspot.com.
Haha, ABCD should be the IRS. Zing!
ABCD=Voldemort!
