This is a fairly accurate pie chart. The key to enjoying Gravity's Rainbow, I think, is to re-read it--slowly. It all makes a kind of sense, even the parts that don't.
Excel for the pies, then a bit of image editing (all IrfanView and MS Paint, actually) to get them on the same page, draw lines for the callout, and move the labels to better positions.
The January 2007 issue of Wired challenges three contributors to improve themselves by learning to "Run Faster", "Be Smarter", and "Shoot Straighter".
I can't let them have all the fun.
Over the course of the next year, I will embark on 10 month-long quests chosen by you, my dear readers. Dream up the challenges, and I shall endeavor to accomplish them.

How did you generate that nifty pie-chart? Especially with the smaller, called-out pie chart?
