Oh and there’s always hope for those of you looking for a girlfriend or a wife.
That’s $8 billion give or take!!!
My favourite part of the article:
“If this all works out it will certainly make up for the life we have had until now — all we really had was each other — no women would look at us living in a cave,” said Geza.
“But with money, maybe we can find a partner and finally have a normal life.”

A normal life?
I highly doubt it.
Watch your back and keep an eye out for the gold diggers who are going to come out of the woodwork, boys.
Who wants to eat a $750 cupcake?
If it was free, why not?

Ever wondered what the formula is for a beautiful face?
Beauty is not so much in the eye of the beholder as in the measurements between a woman’s eyes, mouth and ears, scientists claim.

Cracking the Genetic Code of Cancer
The scientists found the DNA code for a skin cancer called melanoma contained more than 30,000 errors almost entirely caused by too much sun exposure.
The lung cancer DNA code had more than 23,000 errors largely triggered by cigarette smoke exposure.
From this, the experts estimate a typical smoker acquires one new mutation for every 15 cigarettes they smoke.
Although many of these mutations will be harmless, some will trigger cancer.’

Not likely to have signs of life, but it’s possible.
2.7 times larger than Earth! And it’s close to us

This is just cute.

And only a couple more days until Christmas.
Here’s my virtual tree:
And my dream shoe wardrobe (just because of all the BOOOOOOOTS!)
(Yes it’s a shoe store. One of each shoe)
And this looks very inviting.
Minus the books.
(That baby grand piano is making my fingers itch)
With a little nook area like this.
I’d add a little table area so I could use a laptop.
Just in time for the holidays: a cute fur coat
Awwwww CUTIE!

The idea that a beautiful face is down to mathematics is actually a VERY old concept. The idea is called the "golden ratio" where the perfect ratio between to objects in approximately 2/3rds (the actual golden ratio is an irrational number, but 2/3rds is close enough).
I makes a lot of sense in photography. If you're shooing a horizon you want 2/3rds of the image to be sky/earth and the other 1/3 to be the opposite. Too much or too little of one or the other and the photo never looks just right.
The concept was loved by mathematicians during the Renaissance as well as architects and painters.
Many building were designed based on golden ratio during the Renaissance and it is hypothesized that the beauty in DiVinci's Mona Lisa is because her face is made using the golden ratio.
This site demonstrates the concept:

I guess the moral of my comment is just to say that mathematician have been trying to prove for centuries the formula for beauty. =)

my hodgkin's lymphoma is likely linked to mono. 50% of hodgkin's lymphoma patients report having mono and i had a particularly bad case, it was the only time i ever had to stay in the hospital. i have no doubt that it mutated me.
