I am the nexus of constellations.

I'm the lead vocalist for an instrumental band. Perhaps you've heard some of my compelling lyrics?

Suppose that every day 10 men go to out for dinner. The bill for all ten comes to $100. If it was paid the way we pay our taxes, the first four men would pay nothing; the fifth would pay $1; the sixth would pay $3; the seventh $7; the eighth $12, the ninth $18. The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

The ten men ate dinner in the restaurant every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement until the owner threw them a curve. Since you are all such good customers, he said, I’m going to reduce the cost of your daily meal by $20. Now dinner for the ten costs only $80.

The first four are unaffected. They still eat for free. Can you figure out how to divvy up the $20 savings among the remaining six so that everyone gets their fair share? The men realize that $20 divided by 6 is $3.33, but if they subtract that from everybody’s share, the fifth man and the sixth man would end up being paid to eat their meal. The restaurant owner suggested that it would be more fair to reduce each man’s bill by roughly the same amount and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.

And so the fifth man paid nothing; the sixth pitched in $2, the seventh paid $5, the eighth paid $9, the ninth paid $12, leaving the tenth man with a bill of $52 instead of $59. Outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings.

“I only got a dollar out of the $20,” declared the sixth man pointing to the tenth. “and he got $7!”

“Yeah, that’s right,” exclaimed the fifth man. I only saved a dollar too. It’s unfair that he got seven times more than me!

“That’s true,” shouted the seventh man. “Why should he get $7 back when I got only two. The wealthy get all the breaks.”

“Wait a minute,” yelled the first four men in unison. “We didn’t get anything at all. The system exploits the poor.”

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up. The next night he didn’t show up for dinner, so the nine sat down and ate without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They were $42 short.

And that, boys and girls and college instructors, is how the tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes, get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up at the table any more. There’s lots of good restaurants in Switzerland and the Caribbean.

The temperature of Heaven can be rather accurately computed. Our authority is Isaiah 30:26, "Moreover, the light of the Moon shall be as the light of the Sun and the light of the Sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days." Thus Heaven receives from the Moon as much radiation as we do from the Sun, and in addition 7*7 (49) times as much as the Earth does from the Sun, or 50 times in all. The light we receive from the Moon is one 1/10,000 of the light we receive from the Sun, so we can ignore that ... The radiation falling on Heaven will heat it to the point where the heat lost by radiation is just equal to the heat received by radiation, i.e., Heaven loses 50 times as much heat as the Earth by radiation. Using the Stefan-Boltzmann law for radiation, (H/E)^4 = 50, where E is the absolute temperature of the earth (-300K), gives H as 798K (525C). The exact temperature of Hell cannot be computed ... [However] Revelations 21:8 says "But the fearful, and unbelieving ... shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone." A lake of molten brimstone means that its temperature must be at or below the boiling point, 444.6C. We have, then, that Heaven, at 525C is hotter than Hell at 445C. -- From "Applied Optics" vol. 11, A14, 1972

I'm really good at life. I've been doing it since birth and I have never died once.

Cinnamon Life is my favorite cereal.

I have certainly never gotten "lucky" in the (board) game of Life.

I think Li(f)e is Sage Francis's most mature release ever.

When Dope's album Life was released, I saw them in concert for my first ever concert. It was $13. I have since "graduated" to more thought provoking entertainment.

1) Singing the alphabet backwards.
2) Introducing people to new music.
3) Reciting the first 400 squares of every positive integer...quicker than someone with a calculator could.
4) Documenting.
5) Response time/reflex.
6) Collecting two dollar bills.
7) Not finishing projects.
8) Knowing the country of origin for many musical outfits.
9) Arnold Schwarzenegger impersations.
10) Modesty. I'd win an award for being the most modest person ever.
11) Reacting to sarcasm with deadpan seriousness and fooling the assailant.
12) Perseverance.
13) Giving up.
14) Long term memory.
15) Wearing slacks.
16) Socratic seminars.
17) Pyrrhic victories.
18) Inaccurate allusions.
19) Ironic Pentameter.
20) Offensive jokes
21 gun salute.
22) If a=1, b=2, et cetera... Coming up with words whose numerical values add up to 100.
23) When Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, he had three missed calls from me.
24) I win staring contests against the sun.

That only two hands beat a Royal Flush. My right hand and my left hand.

That I enjoy my ice like I enjoy my skulls: crushed.

That I can slam revolving doors so hard it reverses time.

That I'm what Willis was talkin' about.

That I epitomize personification.

That I have methods of interrogation that enable people to remember previous lives.

That I can slam dunk the sun.

That I wipe my ass with intercepted letters to Santa Claus.

That I consume my food telekinetically.

That my right foot is an inch shorter than my left foot.

That I use hyperbole to make "fratire" style jokes.

I like movies that have complex plotlines but not necessarily great acting. Grilled cheese sandwiches are my favorite food.

How every girl on here has been to every country in the world and somehow more than 50 states. Where did these girls get the money and time to visit all these places?

For the past three years, I was working 4pm-1am on Friday nights. My schedule has recently opened up. At the moment, I am working 7am-7pm nearly seven days a week, but when I get things under control at work, I should only be working 45-50 hours a week. I'm trying to plan ahead. :)

Women think they're so clever by saying things like "It wouldn't be private then would it? lolol", I'm generally unimpressed. This is really intended to be a section for writing the negative things about yourself that you think might scare away a potential connection. I don't really volunteer information because I don't know how relevant it is, but I will literally answer any question with 100% honesty.

you have fingers and a keyboard.

If your profile is longer than mine, let's have a conversation.

You should definitely message me if I messaged you.

You should definitely message me if you want someone who will almost always reply.

If you want to discuss any of the literature or music listed, I'd be happy to oblige, but I understand that I'm not really a hipster and so I didn't list Sigur Ros, Florence and the Machine, Regina Spektor, Adele, Silversun Pickups, et cetera. Sorry. I prefer music that uses chromatic scaling, odd metered rhyme scheme with the absence of choruses and the addition of literary allusions and classical structuring.

Call it pretentious, call it avant-garde, call it what you will, but I've HEARD a lot of music, and it's much easier to enjoy when it's complex and interesting. This is the same reason I pick The Wheel of Time over the Twilight "Saga". Though, how it can likened to anything sagacious is beyond me.

I won't hate you if we disagree on anything, in fact, I like some diversity (it's an old wooden ship, you know), and if anyone would like to present some differeing thoughts or suggest anything that is comparable to what I have listed I am all ears (or eyes, in this case).
