Todays is good. Ive honestly never heard of the tripod trilogy. Twill have to look into it.

I think I read the tripod books in middle school too, good stuff

How is fail to expect most people know when to correctly use "no pun intended"

3/27/2009 9:12:48 AM

I love how Google handles dimensional analysis. Stats are ballpark and vary wildly by time of day and whether your mom is in town.

I have a problem with the math in this one.

(Pi*r^2)(Pd)(Xf)(Xd) is basically the amount of sex (in min.) per year for a given area.

Thus, for the probability to be 1, (Pi*r^2)(Pd)(Xf)(Xd) has to equal 525960 (the number of minutes in a year. Solving for r, that yields:

r = sqrt[525960/(Pi*(Pd)(Xf)(Xd))]

all this assumes that that populations are evenly distributed as well as the time of sexual encounters

right?

Upon further thought, the formula as given in the comic stands assuming that Xf and Xd have matching units. However, I'm debating with myself if the 2 should be a 1.

it isn't about knowing when to correctly use it. it's about intentionally using "no pun intended" incorrectly to fuck with people. hence, your fail.
