[silly me, fearing the cereal.]
"Don't fear the cereal" was originally going to be the title of Blue Oyster Cult's biggest hit. Then they realized the Grim Reaper was potentially more terrifying than Captain Crunch. True story.
Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
It IS fun, especially the patient yet deeply tortured expression on the pup's face as she suffers the whole process, including pleading looks over her shoulder as, horrors!, the warm water is poured over her.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
I think, -t, (among other things, I think that I can't start a line with your name) that your calculations leave out the fact that it starts from 100 rather than from 0, so to both your triangles need to be added little rectangles, like so:
0.5(0.5(500)) {triangle} + 0.5(100) {teensy rectangle} + 6*300 + 0.5(1(500)) {triangle} + 1(100) {little but not teensy rectangle} = 125 + 50 + 1800 + 250 + 100 = 2325
I think that I also left that out the first time I computed it, so let that be a lesson to me.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Jon, loving you and FAQWife even more post-update. Awww.

Which is why I took the average. Which basicly is chopping the triangle parts in half and rearranging them to make rectangles.

Awww. Jon I am so happy for you and FAQGirl. I can't wait to meet her someday soon.
