What The Shit

I got this random text from a Peter. And I kind of want to see the print options now.

What The Susan G. Komen Foundation Has Really Been Spending All That Money On

The Susan G. Komen Foundation For The Cure has come under fire for donating only 21% of their funds to actual breast cancer research. So where does the other 79% go? EADJ made up some statistics looked into it:

• 13%: Pink lightbulbs for the bathrooms

• 8%: Inflatable sumo suits for mid-day deathmatches

• 7%: TONER TONER TONER

• 29%: Scratch off tickets

• 4%: Mall chair massages

• 16%: Corporate account for Five Guys

• 3%: Trip to a titty bar (ironic!)

• 39%: Hiring someone to double check if all this totals 100%

And Now, Vince's Uncle Roberto On How To Find the Slope of a Line from Two Points

To find the slope, we will need two points from the line.Pick two x's and solve for each corresponding y: If, say, x = 3, then y = ( 2/3 )(3) – 4 = 2 – 4 = –2. If, say, x = 9, then y = ( 2/3 )(9) – 4 = 6 – 4 = 2. (By the way, I picked the x-values to be multiples of three because of the fraction. It's not a rule that you have to do that, but it's a helpful technique.) So the two points (3, –2) and (9, 2) are on the line y = ( 2/3 )x – 4.To find the slope, you use the following formula:

The subscripts merely indicate that you have a "first" point (whose coordinates are subscripted with a "1") and a "second" point (whose coordinates are subscripted with a "2"); that is, the subscripts indicate nothing more than the fact that you have two points to work with. It is entirely up to you which point you label as "first" and which you label as "second". For computing slopes with the slope formula, the important thing is that you subtract the x's and y's in the same order. For our two points, if we choose (3, –2) to be the "first" point, then we get the following:

The first y-value above, the –2, was taken from the point (3, –2) ; the second y-value, the 2, came from the point (9, 2); the x-values 3 and 9 were taken from the two points in the same order. If we had taken the coordinates from the points in the opposite order, the result would have been exactly the same value:

As you can see, the order in which you list the points really doesn't matter, as long as you subtract the x-values in the same order as you subtracted the y-values. Because of this, the slope formula can be written as it is above, or alternatively it can be written as:

 

Let me emphasize: it does not matter which of the two formulas you use or which point you pick to be "first" and which you pick to be "second". The only thing that matters is that you subtract your x-values in the same order as you had subtracted your y-values.

And speaking of values, I have driven my town car for the rudest, most reprehensible 14 year olds I have ever met. And guess what. Yes, their parents were wealthy. Don't spoil your kids with too much money, folks.

A Minor News Hiccup

The other night on CBS 2 News, Kristine Johnson was reading some fluff piece while the video was playing onscreen and started having a coughing fit. The camera cut back to the news desk, and our girl Kristine was downing some filtered vodka water.

She quickly recovered, apologized and finished the segment. With absolutely no help from Maurice Dubois (it means "of wood"), thank you very much.

And since we're on the subject, here are some photos of women that kind of look like Kristine Johnson:
