The fact that some humans can shove an entire large pizza inside themselves is both amazing and terrifying (self.showerthoughts)

it may be that you were being facetious, but numbers and formulae are usually the most potent weapons in the arsenal of people who want to bulldoze in their own agenda.

as a general rule, any post with figures should warrant greater scrutiny, not less; and definitely not none with a nudge to rank it higher. even if it is one in all frivolity as my comment above.

I agree. Usually I am. But when it comes to such a rather humurous discussion as here with pizzas, I make an exception. ;)
