Florence Sheepingale

Today is the birthday of Florence Nightingale. “The Lady with the Lamp” as she was called during the Crimean War, was a pioneering nurse, developer of the “Pie Chart” and all round good egg.

 

Although it must be said that she didn’t invent the actual “Pie Chart” as depicted here, but a form of pie chart called “polar area chart”, a useful tool to show where polar bears were currently looking for beans, if the prop department has done it's research correctly (somewhat doubtful to be honest).

 

So happy birthday Mrs Nightingale and thanks for all the pies :-)
