Most Bizarre Post Ever

Today, dear reader, I would like to draw your attention to an age-old unanswerable question. It’s a quandary which has plagued even the most sagacious among us for centuries. I refer, of course, to the question of blondes vs. brunettes.

Before we begin, let me qualify things by mentioning that this only applies to women, as I’m not fit to judge the attractiveness of men beyond basic standards of hygiene. And we’re going to leave redheads out of this, because this theory doesn’t seem to apply to them.

My theory is that blondes have a narrower range of attractiveness that starts above the minimum attractiveness of brunettes but does not extend to the maximum attractiveness of brunettes. Stated another way, brunettes have the potential to be much better- or worse-looking than blondes. Here’s a graphic illustrating the point.

Those of you who have not yet skipped down to leave a comment questioning my sanity are probably wondering where in the world this came from. The answer is that I have no idea. It’s just one of those things my mind came up with when I was playing video games or doing something else that didn’t give my brain anything to do. So I suppose the real lesson here is that you should always be challenging your brain, or you never know what it will go off and do without you.

This does beg an actual question, though. What physical feature (let’s keep this G-rated, kids) attracts you to someone?

There is one thing that I find interesting about attractiveness. Sometimes I will meet a girl, or see a girl that I think is really attractive. Then I get to know them and they are less pleasing to the eyes if you know what I am talking about.

It goes the other way. I will meet a girl that does not turn my head, but when I get to know her, she becomes beautiful to me.

Now draw a graph of how dumb a woman is vs how likely she is to date me.

Maybe that is because there are more ethnicities and whatnot with people with various colors of brown hair. Wow, could that be a more awkward sentence. Anyway, and with blond, you're basically Skandinavian or you have Skandinavian heritage.

I don't really know if that's true but it sounds good to me.

As for me, i am not sure what i like. I never really had a "type." it has a lot to do with the personality. Here's something I DON'T like: really big muscles. Isn't that weird? I think it looks totally weird and unnatural. But if you like it, that's cool.

I had an onion tied to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, you couldn't get white onions because of the war; all you could get...

Do you ever get stuck in a conversation that you can’t get out of? I’m not talking about those times when you have to be somewhere else or there’s a rational need to leave, but rather those times when, with every word the other person utters (it’s typically just a two-person conversation), your brain threatens to escape your body and make a break for it. All you can do is try to play some old TV theme songs in your head, or maybe design circuits if you’re the engineering type, all the while searching for an opportunity to escape. Now I’m boring myself just thinking about those situations.

Thirty Thoughts

1. Is that more hair in the shower drain every morning? 2. What's the big deal? It's just a number with a zero at the end. Why should we consider that significant? 3. Am I still allowed to wear shorts? 4. I need to buy a house within the next five years or we won't have it paid off by retirement age. Then again, my generation won't be able to retire until age 80, so I shouldn't worry. 5. I really should be eating more green, leafy vegetables. If I leave potatoes in the fridge long enough, will that count? 6. Going back to school is getting less and less likely. Then again, sending kids to school will be enough trauma. 7. At least I no longer look like I'm 12, which I did until I was about 23. 8. I will never wear my cell phone on my belt. 9. For some reason, there's a big difference between having a kid and having kid s . 10. You kids get off the lawn! 11. I wonder when my memory will start to go. 12. Inside of me beats the heart of an 18-year-old. At leas...

Moral Compass

On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 1 being “afraid to step on a blade of grass” and 10 being “I’m gonna kill everyone!”), how bad is it if I were to warm up my car in the morning for 10 minutes before coming to work?
