Funny non-IT Uses of UML?

Posted by Cliff on from the bet-the-spec-writers-never-thought-of-these-uses dept.

_pruegel_ asks: "Most people will (if at all) use UML for documentation of software projects. Others come up with non-IT uses like writing poems. Now, I came up with some sort of collaboration diagram for The O.C. (as of episode 2.09). What funny or not so funny but non-IT uses for UML have you found?"

    Strange idea to use UML for documentation. I use it for jailing my gameservers.

    Off Center?
    Octagonal Crustacean?
    Outlying Cottage?
    Omnipotent Creature?
    Opposing Canine?
    Orthogonal Cusp?
    Original Catsup?
    Overwhelming Certainty?
    Outter Circumference?

    The only clue I have is the definite article that precedes 'OC' .. no periods. So what is it?

    OK then. And excellent start. But I now hereby challenge someone to attempt a diagram for a *daytime* soap. Bonus points if it's Days of Our Lives and includes demonic possessions.
