Who doesn&#8217;t love Venn diagrams?  They&#8217;ve always had a way of making concepts easier to understand.  I suppose this is true for most visual learners.</p>
<p>It seems that countless other people have found a better use for Venn diagrams &#8211; to make your work day more bearable.  Take that diagram up there (via <a href="http://nextround.net/2010/03/15-venn-diagrams-to-explain-the-internets-fascination-with-venn-diagrams">Next Round</a>).  It&#8217;s been making the rounds for some time now and I am not certain that it&#8217;s accurate, but it sure will take your mind off whatever&#8217;s bothering you!  At the very least, you&#8217;ll be assessing your social aptitude (or ineptitude), obsessive tendencies, and intelligence.  And, if you take any of that stuff seriously, then you really do deserve to be called one of those labels!<span id="more-20954"></span></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s one from <a href="http://www.despair.com/deviall1.html">Despairwear</a>.  You can actually get a shirt with this design if you feel like it.<br />
<a rel="attachment wp-att-20956" href="http://www.forevergeek.com/2010/08/some_useful_venn_diagrams/funny_venn_diagram8/"><img style=' display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;'  class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20956" title="funny_venn_diagram8" src="http://www.forevergeek.com/wp-content/media/2010/08/funny_venn_diagram8.png" alt="funny venn diagram8 Some &quot;Useful&quot; Venn Diagrams" width="501" height="364" /></a>I don&#8217;t use MySpace all that much &#8211; except to check out new music &#8211; so I don&#8217;t get why it excludes stalking.  And, do stalkers really use Twitter that much?</p>
<p>No one can deny that <a href="http://nextround.net/2010/03/15-venn-diagrams-to-explain-the-internets-fascination-with-venn-diagrams">Scarlett Johansson</a> is hot.  This Venn diagram sums it all up.<br />
<a rel="attachment wp-att-20957" href="http://www.forevergeek.com/2010/08/some_useful_venn_diagrams/scarjo-venn-diagram/"><img style=' display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;'  class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-20957" title="scarjo-venn-diagram" src="http://www.forevergeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/scarjo-venn-diagram-222x344.jpg" alt="scarjo venn diagram 222x344 Some &quot;Useful&quot; Venn Diagrams" width="222" height="344" /></a></p>
<p>So that men won&#8217;t feel left out (as subjects of these diagrams), here&#8217;s one of <a href="http://nextround.net/2010/03/15-venn-diagrams-to-explain-the-internets-fascination-with-venn-diagrams">Vin Diesel</a>.<br />
<a rel="attachment wp-att-20958" href="http://www.forevergeek.com/2010/08/some_useful_venn_diagrams/vin-venn-diagram/"><img style=' display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;'  class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20958" title="vin-venn-diagram" src="http://www.forevergeek.com/wp-content/media/2010/08/vin-venn-diagram.jpg" alt="vin venn diagram Some &quot;Useful&quot; Venn Diagrams" width="466" height="390" /></a> I have to strongly disagree with the tag &#8220;shitty movies&#8221; though.  Yeah, his movies may not be Oscar-worthy, but they are not all shitty!  How can that specimen ever produce anything shitty?  Tell me! (Could use some support here.)</p>
<p>Are Venn diagrams useful or what?  My math professor in university would be raising his bushy eyebrows if he were to read this&#8230;</p>

As I write, I am going through the whole first season.  I have to say, the mere sight of Leonard and Sheldon got  me hooked.</p>
<p>For the benefit of those who have not seen (or heard) of The Big Bang Theory (you are missing out, I tell you!), the show focuses on the life of two nerd roommates, Leonard and Sheldon.  Their IQs add up to 360 combined but they have no clue as to how to interact with people beyond their circle.  Their mundane existence is made more interesting by Penny, who just moved to the apartment across the hall.  Penny is a hot blonde who just broke up with her boyfriend.  Naturally, Leonard falls for her but Penny seems to be only interested in making friends with the guys.<span id="more-13091"></span></p>
<p>So what makes the show worth watching?  To be honest, I am almost done with the whole season but it seems that the plot is not going very far.  We simply observe the lives of the roommates and Leonard does not seem to be getting anywhere with Penny.  The nerdy lines that the guys deliver are priceless, though.  Indeed, some of them might be gibberish in truth, but it’s still hilarious how they interact with each other and how they TRY to blend in with Penny’s circle.  There’s already a second season, and I can’t wait to see if that’s as good – or better – than the first one.</p>
<p>Any thoughts?</p>
