Love/Hate List

It's Friday, and that means more things I love and hate:

Love

-When guys get older and fatter, their ties get longer in order to end at the same place on the belly. See illustration.



In this example, y = the height of the tie, from neck to bottom. This is not a measure of distance. The length of the tie is measured by x. In a normal adult male, x/y = 1. In the fatbody pictured on the right, x/y = >1. This is because x has been increased in order for y to remain constant. x is elongated in order to compensate for the curve of the belly, which is quantifiable as the function -(x^2-x)=y.

-Lupe Fiasco's new album, especially single "Superstar"

-Black-eyed peas

-The upcoming live-action GIJoe movie

-Puppies

Hate

-My standing

-My Microsoft Paint skills (top of page, this article)

-The Jonas Brothers. Who the fuck are these hippies, and why are they in Thursday's USA Today and all over the radio?

-Accidentally erasing all the music on my iPod yesterday

-Foreigners
