Sorry, couldn’t resist
chance fail! should be a bar graph.
correct
True.
Yep.
true!
indeed.
sixth’ed
Who cares?
Well, you six obv..
but it’s still funny, right?
No need to diss it.
The idea is kind of amusing though… just poorly delivered.
I take it the creator of this graph is not a rocket science or engineer. =o
No, they definitely aren’t a rocket science. They’re definitely maybe not a rocket scientist, either.
definitely maybe?
1. The weather is always based on chances. Everybody gets it wrong often, especially when making long-term predictions (and if you’re counting every number equally heavy, the most accurate weatherman in the world would get it wrong 75% of the numbers).
2. Presidents never get to keep their job.
3. Why is this a pie chart?
I think the creator just REALLY likes pie.
Wasn’t it pizza?
no its obviously a cake chart because if it were a pie chart or a pizza chart it would have a crust
You know what they say about the cake…
I don’t…
edalicious has earned the achievement [The Cake Is Not A Lie!].
Presidents of companies get to keep their jobs fairly often. And the POTUS can keep his job by getting re-elected (once) or not getting impeached.
yeah, but isn’t there a limit on the number of times the POTUS can be re-elected?
I think you should add economists to graph. they screw up the world and most of them keep their jobs
Economists don’t screw up the world. Politicians who listen to economists do – they best thing they could do would be keeping their hands off the economy altogether. Anyway, economics are not an exact science, and predicting economic trends is pointless, as such predictions might influence the trends.
my uncle’s an economist. he did not screw anyone.
Except for your aunt.
my manager should be up there with weathermen as well.
Agreed. We must have the same boss.
Should have been a bar graph.
Meteorology’s main reason for existing is to make astrology look respectable.
Wrong graph type. Very, very wrong.
L2pickgraph type
no
jojojojojojo great!
In order to keep your job as president until the mandatory retirement limit, you have to be wrong either less than 20% of the time or more than 98% of the time.
Where are the Congressmen?
You forgot Economists. They make weathermen look good.
Investment Bankers need a huge wedge of late!
don’t forget baseball players. if they can do their job against their peers 35% of the time, they’re considered extremely skilled EXPERTS.
Obviously they don’t know the engineers where I work.They make weathermen look flawless.
75% of the time? What are you, crazy?!
It’s 85% of the time.
The last psychic I knew got about 25% accuracy on a coin toss, do they qualify?
Take a large, almost round, rotating sphere 8000 miles in diameter, surround it with a murky, viscous atmosphere of gases mixed with water vapor, tilt its axis so it wobbles back and forth with respect to a source of heat and light, freeze it at both ends and roast it in the middle, cover most of its surface with liquid that constantly feeds vapor into the atmosphere as the sphere tosses billions of gallons up and down to the rhythmic pulling of a captive satellite and the sun. Then try to predict the conditions of that atmosphere over a small area within a 5 mile radius for a period of one to five days in advance!
YOU try to forecast, it ain’t as easy as you think. It’s an imperfect science…GET OVER IT!!
i love how you admit to being wrong. still, good point.
heh you must be from michigan too
Where are the psychics in this chart?
Graph competence FAIL
rocket scientists generally are engineers btw. Aerospace engineers.
um…. is it just me or should this be a BAR GRAPH??
I agree, should be a bar chart – but this made me think of something that happened here at work.
After a particularly long run of spectacularly bad weather forecasts, I commented to my boss that I wanted to be as WRONG as they were, as OFTEN as they were, and get paid LOTS of money like they do.
He grinned and said, “So, you want to be an actuary, like me, huh?”
You forgot baseball players.
i thinks theres to much purple
i mean not enough purple
All coaches at all levels, all sports atheletes, economists, stock brokers, agents, lawyers, talk show hosts, political pundits, pollsters, TV financial show hosts, financial advisers, political consultants, radio consultants, TV consultants, business consultants, CEOs, board of directors, CFOs, company presidents, management… the list goes on and on but doesn’t make an easy joke. Last check forecasts were 80-84% accurate (made by meteorologists not weatherman-weather presenters on TV)…the weatherman thing is an old joke that doesn’t die because it’s easy.
I think those should all be 1% wedges and the rest of the graph should be dominated by “clergyman”.
graph should be a bar graph…..weatherman cant be wrong because its a meteorolgoist that predicts the weather where is priest on this list?
