International pi Day

Today it is international pi day. (Using American date notation - 3.14 of 2007).

To celebrate, anyone who can tell me the formula for the
circumference of a circle will win a half an hour of hand-relief, to
be administered by Bevan McMerkin.

If you can also tell me the formula for the area of a circle, he will
administer the prize wearing nothing but a leopard-skin man-thong.

Clarkenegger

Look how Rambo is struggling, while Clark just laughs.
She is not even left-handed.
While I was pillaging the net for a photo showing Clark facing the right way and showcasing a bit of her mudflap haircut, I found out that kosher pez is available, if you want it.

The Clark Arm Strength

Corbs has done some excellent research there. Lets see what I am up against:


Note how the geezer is assessing Clark's bicep power. He's obviously heard about her exceptional arm-strength. That look she is giving appears to be friendly, but she is really saying to him under her breath, "Have a good feel boyo, because I could bounce you off that thing." Careful observers will note that another arm-tester (just out of the shot) is checking out the arm-strength of her other arm. He will have to let go soon, as she may well break his fore-arm (both bones). Now consider this:

See the strain on this guy's face as he tests Clark's arm strength. She is effortlessly matching his weak attempts to overcome her, but she is totally dominating the situation. And I daresay, she is considering whether she should do him an injury, just to teach him a lesson.

My Might

I am mighty. I have much might. You may have read somewhere that the pen is mightier than the sword. Well I am mightier than that pen. It is a puny little pen.

I grow more powerful every day. I am so mighty, I bet I could beat Helen Clark in an arm wrestle. I really am awefully powerful.

I just thought I had better let you all know.

Book Lending

I have learnt from experience that when you lend people shit, you only get it back if you ask for it. I actually issued a mate with a list of 10 books which I had lent him over the years. I got 3 of them back.

I now track where my books go and follow up with borrowers after a reasonable time. Lending to my brother is always amusing. The books always end up on his bookshelf. I think I need to define the word lend for him to better understand the concept.

The Devils Advocate (because every arseclown considers himself that) would say that the worth of a book is in its IP, and that once you have read it, it has no further value - so I should happily give away all my books. The Devils Advocate is a pigfucker. And although I find porcine fornication funny on paper, you're never quite the same after coming face-to-face with a bona fide pigfucker.
