Look, Angel, I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm still evil. I don't do errands...unless they're evil errands.

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

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:

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.

Jon, FAQ v2.0 makes me silly with the happy for you.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

It was two rows of four tables, all with glass tops and the tiny books under the glass. We walked from table to table. When the wife (!!) got to the last table, I lingered at the second-to-last one and, with my back to her, took out the pendant from my jacket pocket and placed it on top of the glass. I called out, "Hey did you see this one?" She came back over, looked at the object on the table, and said, confused, "Why is this one out of the case?" "Check out the inscription on the spine," I replied. She picked it up, saw the words "On Longing," and burst into tears. We embraced and I put the pendant around her neck. It was a perfect moment.

Which was ruined moments later when Jon was dragged away by security personnel who only saw the act of removing a tiny book from the direction of the display case...

Right, yes, very smart. For some reason rearranging triangles to make rectangles makes me nervous, because it's right there that I seem to make a lot of mistakes.

ETA: Er, apparently for that reason.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Lovely, Jon. Thanks for sharing it--it made my day.

Jon, I am dying of the loveliness of your story. It's all so romantic and kismet-ly perfect.

Can we clone you?
