Weight Loss Contest math problem
Work is doing a weight loss contest, and we are seeking a system that helps us pick the winner. So far none of the systems we have come up with seem fair.
Example 1: Percentage of Goal

Sherry (5’4” & 144lbs) wants to lose 20lbs.
Mike (5’9” & 220lbs) wants to lose 10lbs.
At the end John loses 28lbs (93.3%),

Planning ahead
OK, I am getting organized: I just set up a reminder about doing something in Nov 2009.
10 years ago I didn't think about things more then a week in advance, and that was mostly just to make sure the gaming group was all going to make it. -
Last thing you wanted to hear
A line that popped in my head today that is pretty much the last thing you want to hear at the end of a bad day:
"We're sorry. All shoulders are busy now. Please cry again later."

Happy Post: Day 1-2-3
Thing I am most happy about today: She-Who-Is is coming home tomorrow!
Tomorrow I will be happy that She-Who-Is is arriving on a jet plane! And will be sleeping in our bed.
Saturday I will be happy that She-Who-Is is here to spend the day with. Oh, and that one of the other Goddesses is cooking dinner.
Yep. I cheat. -
NRE: A tool of Evolution?
It would seem to make sense that evolution would favor a system that caused people to fall head over heels in lust with each other, and then 3-6 months later to be off chasing someone new. That amount of time of wild frantic coupling at every opportunity would give a good chance at a pregnancy resulting, and if not, then surely with the next one, ( Read more... ) -
New code numbers about sex
A pirate taught me to count in binary, so I can now get to 31 on one hand. I can get all the way to 1023 without taking off my pants or shoes!

- 6 is the most often used to please a woman, but if ( Read more... )

Poetry that explains NRE
I normally am not a poetry type of guy, but this one I really understood.
Been there, done that, want to do it again tomorrow.

It is an art, not a science
Cooking. It is an art. Great cooks do not just follow the recipes others wrote. No, they boldly try new and exciting things. Pineapple on Pizza. Strawberries in chocolate. Lemon on fish. Tonight I get to eat the artistry of the Boychek.
Hopefully I will live through it.
