Late thank you for the math!! I appreciate it!
All the percentage functions I can remember are related to calculating grades. Quelle surprise.
Ok, gotta go to bed now. Have been so TIRED this week in the mornings. I think it's the increase in my AD.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That was pretty sweet.
That's the kind of thing I fully expect Juliana and I will be cracking ourselves up with some night in North Beach (or Vegas), while M and others look at us and wonder how the hell much we've had to drink.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Total change of topic: did anyone share these graphics about sex from OKCupid?
This comment, especially without context, was hilarious:
@Truth, @Fred, your statements about old men needing rough sex due to circumcision don’t hold. I’m 74, cut, and have learned to have mind-blowing orgasms solely by tickling my anus with a goose feather.
And thus begins Newt Gingrich's campaign for the White House.

It's a bunch of photographs of awesome men's fashion ads from the 1960s and 70s. Just fabulous.
I would just like to say:
MEN
IN BELTED SWEATERS.

It's not easy being an adopted grandpa. Tonight was recital night for the classical mini-orchestra she's in. They're so much better than I would have been at that age, but dear lord, classical music shouldn't be made to sound like that. On the one hand, cute, serious, trying-so-hard kids. On the other hand, beautiful music in agony. I could hear what the music was trying to be, and they just weren't getting there. However, my job is to say, "You were terrific!" not to critique the music. But now I'm wondering how hard my folks were biting their lips and telling themselves, "We love our daughter, this is our job."

It's like a zen koan, or something.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does anyone really have that moment where they're looking at someone and lying obviously saying "yes?" while they're hoping to be corrected "no!"? And does it really make gripping drama? I think it's completely tiresome.

I think Men in Belted Sweaters will be a hot new band out of Brooklyn.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The rough/gentle sex one makes a hell of a lot of assumptions about a lot of things.
It's self-reported - not scientific, but not OKCupid's assumptions either:
Here, we took a single question—Is your ideal sex rough or gentle?—and scraped people's profile text for the words that most correlated to each answer.
