How do you design a masculine Valentine’s Day box?

February 13th, 2008 . by Liz

19th century loveTomorrow is what? Valentine’s Day? Isn’t the whole ‘love’ thing an outdated concept from the 19th century, i.e., Jane Austen novels?

Alright, alright, I suppose this week’s WikiAnswers Wednesday question ought to answer something related to the most hated love day of the year. And I suppose of all people, Jim ought to answer it.

How do you design a masculine Valentine’s Day box?

When someone you love goes for a month it’s not easy to deal with. Your head is full of thoughts and emotions. Will she come back from New York? Will she and Ralph get married while she’s there?

I recently underwent a similar situation when a dear friend of mine stabbed me in the heart with an ice pick. At least that’s what it felt like when this friend went to New York and stayed with her former flame, coincidentally named Ralph.

At first I think I was in shock and I didn’t think about it too much. However, after a few days I noticed a few physical changes. I formed huge welts on my back, although those could have been related to the paintballs shot into my back at a close distance.

Still, the paintballs could not explain the blue pigmentation I noticed in my skin. Nor could it explain the massive kidney failure I experienced last week. However, my decades-long high sugar diet and not having drunk any water last week might have resulted in the kidney complications.

In short, if a lover friend does to you what I described above, odds are they are not your lover friend. In fact they are most likely a two-timing backstabber who only wants to suck your blood, in the case your friend has vampiric tendencies. My advice to you, my wikicommunity friends, is to close yourself off from the world, and eat lots of cookies. Cookies always make you feel better.Valentine's Day heart

Finally to answer the question posed above… not sure you can. ‘Masculine’ and ‘Valentine’s’ are not complete opposites, but they don’t go together like PB and J, either.

Super Bowl Math

January 29th, 2008 . by Shara

300x250-superbowl.gifThe upcoming Giants/Patriots game is the talk of the town. If you don’t know what game I’m talking about then you don’t deserve to read the rest of this entry…so stop right here.

We had to get in on the action so the latest featured topic over at WikiAnswers is, of course, the Super Bowl. Our special guest columnist, Jim, tuned in with some Super Bowl math to help us out today. Jim always comes through when we need him…he seems to know something about everything!

What are the expenses for both teams in the Super Bowl?

According to Jim…

The expenses for both teams in the Super Bowl can be answered by using simple Dionysian geometry. Take the mean number of players for each team and put them in a differential algorithm that calculates the basic cost of each player. Once you have this number, you can find out the expenses for each team.

I’ll save you the time and tell you what the results are. For the Patriots, it is 1.2 million dollars before taxes. For the Giants, it is 1.6 million dollars.

Don’t read any more if you don’t want to know the result of the Super Bowl. Patriots win 49-26!!!

While calculating expenses it’s also important not to forget that the Super Bowl means so much to so many countries, not just the US. For example, in Micronesia the Super Bowl is celebrated by reciting Homer’s Iliad and a nationwide Israeli folk dance. The Super Bowl brings out the best in cultural sharing throughout the world.

I hope this helps, and I’m always here for any super bowl questions you might have.
Finally, Meital, will you marry me?
