pork pie with personality

I'm currently eating a Pork Farms Original pork pie, which was wrapped in a wrapper to which was affixed a sticky label which contains these words:

"Remove from fridge; wait 15 agonisingly long minutes; eat. Not suitable for home freezing."

I like it when the small print conveys a sense of personality.

As I always say, it's somebody's job to write the words that appear on food packaging. I feel an obligation to make their job worthwhile by reading what they have written.

this diagram explains everything

I'm currently trying to translate bits of this diagram, which explains how all knowledge fits together. (You need to click on it to get a full size image which is big enough to read - it might take a while to load, depending on your connection speed.)



Handy, isn't it?

(from Richard Baxter's Methodus Theologiae Christianae (1681))
