I have not posted anything for 50 days. Many things have happened in those 50 days. Grand things. Things that involve both sitting and standing. Grand things.

The fifth law of thermodynamics states, "The more interesting life is, the less you will write about it." This was first conjectured based on Isaac Newton's writings on gravity. The apple falling was incredibly boring, so Newton felt this sudden urge to write a treatise or two. Conversely, none of Newton's texts mention his years as an international playboy, excluding three footnotes in the Principia Mathematica.

And that is why I have not posted. Maybe I will post more later, but my life is interesting enough that I really have no urge to write more than these three paragraphs.

Liar! My life is interesting. You just tag along. How many crack whores with a tongue ring that like it in the ass have you met on your own?

I believe this is merely a disagreement in perspective. I define interesting as "mentally stimulating." You define interesting as "meeting crack whores that like it in the ass."

And as a side note, three.

Another interesting law of thermodynamics is that those with the least interesting lives feel the need to prove that they are not as boring as everyone assumes. Of course, since they actually do lead boring lives, they instead resort to making statements like, "I am so interesting, I don't have time to tell you about it."

If you were in my class, I would give you an incomplete for lacking any supporting arguments, and then put you in Saturday Study Hall until you fixed it :)

No supporting arguments? Isaac Newton isn't a supporting argument?

And I do remember that at least 5 of those 50 days involved being around you. By your reasoning, you are at least 10% boring :)

Isaac Newton is invariably an excuse and not a supporting argument, and your post sounds far too much like StrongBad's English paper. I'm with Gen on this one.

Or you could suppose that those five days were the only interestng days. Therefore I am 100% interesting and you are 10% interesting :)

I'm with Jessica that Newton is not a supporting arugment for your being interesting. It is only support for the idea that people write things when their lives are boring. But there is no proof for the iff (if and only if) part of your assumption. Dr. Kitchen would give you a C for that...

I have nothing witty to say...

My brain is mushy right now. Mushy mushy.
