Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
As she is sometimes known to do, Robin engaged me in a deep philosophical discussion this evening. For tonight's topic, she chose the pursuit of happiness.
She hypothesized that each individual's happiness balances out over the course of one's life, and that for every moment of joy one experiences, one inevitably suffers an equally intense moment of sadness. Yes, I know... a rather tired argument usually based on cliche and mostly disproved offshoots of the algebraic varieties of game theory. But she did her homework on this one and was able to back up her argument with a mathematical model that conclusively proved her theory. Until I pointed out her incorrect calculation of an inverse cosine function.
I don't have the answer either, but I'm pretty sure it has something to do with Fritos.

sin/cos x tan + sin - cos/tan = Brian is a geek ... you were right, you were in a weird mood.

Robin is supposing that life is a zero sum game? That's rather a change of pace for her species.
There's this: To get a girl, you need time and money, so Time * Money = Girl. We all know that time is money, so Time = Money, so Money^2 = Girl. If money is the root of all evil, then the square root of a Girl is evil, and so all girls are evil.
Or something like that. What do I know about math?
