Fatman Calculation XVII

Saturday, June 20th, 2009

This is the seventeenth Fatman calculation.  This calculation was done about 24 hours after Garbage Day began and demonstrates the impact of this event on overall blog content.  Click the link below to learn more about this project.

(((Procrast-nation Page Views/10) + Comments + images uploaded + database size/1000000 + Total Blog Wordcount/250 + total site posts + HOID word count/500 + HOID page views/1000)^2(1 + (((Total Site Posts)(Total Blog Wordcount))/1000000)) = Calories Consumed

8989/10 + 557 + 892 + 500000000/1000000 + 250308/250 + 410 + 338764/500 + 675735/1000)^2 (1 + 410(250308)/1000000) = 3,265,989,052 calories consumed

Fatman Official Weight:  933139.2 pounds

Fatman Weight Gain since last calculation:  563264.6 pounds

Calorie Equivalent:  The equivalent of the amount of energy he has consumed through food would power a 60 watt light bulb for 72 centuries.

Mass Equivalent:  Approximately the mass of 3 boeing 747 airplanes.

Notes:  The change demonstrated here is the result of garbage day which was a huge success.  We managed to get almost 200 images, over 60 posts, and a whole lot of content, some of it aweomse, and some of it…. well content.  It was a very successful event that almost put the fat guy over the million pound threshold.  Next time he will certainly be there.  Oh, and as an important note, I estimated the total amount of blog content in storage capacity because I did not have access to the data, so the fatman could actually weigh significantly more.

Formula Improvement:  This is a big one.  The HOID room count is now part of the multiplier.  It is multiplied by site posts and word count.  This is divided by a billion rather than a million, but with 3 factors in the multiplier itself, this means massive growth will be seen.  Expect the fatman to grow by at least 5 times in the next calculation, and he could potentially shoot up an entire order of magnitude.

NEW FORMULA: (((Procrast-nation Page Views/10) + Comments + images uploaded + database size/1000000 + Total Blog Wordcount/250 + total site posts + HOID word count/500 + HOID page views/1000)^2(1 + (((Total Site Posts)(Total Blog Wordcount)(HOID Room Count)/1000000000)) = Calories Consumed

Don Cheadle Demonstrates Cloning

Saturday, June 20th, 2009

Assuming a species can reproduce asexually and has access to limitless resources, here is a representation of how each generaton would grow larger than the last.  Don Cheadle has volunteered to demonstrate this principal by cloning himself.  Enjoy.

What the fuck is the deal with the Platypus?

Saturday, June 20th, 2009

Perhaps I’m only writing this since I’m extremely tired and not even half-way through Garbage Day. Self-doubt has begun to creep through. I wonder to myself; is “entirely wrong information that just sounds funny” too long to be an effective tag? Will anyone ever tag another post with it? If not, is it completely worthless? But even if it is, it feels right on an intuitive level, and so I keep it. To quote Emerson “We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents.” (more…)

Crap Comics: Sprocket Man!

Saturday, June 20th, 2009

Another one. I made a stack before I went over to Apoth’s for this whole Garbage Day thing. This one is pretty awesome though-it has the awful art of one of the post Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle black and white glut comics, combined with that awful characterization and dialogue that can only come from Government commissioned folk art. Remember, for all those annoying ‘comics are art and that’s why I’m 52 and still reading Little Lulu comics’ people, you can hold a copy of “Sprocket Man” up to them then watch as they walk away crying to write in their xangas. So anyhow, onto the monstrosity that is Sprocket Man. (more…)

Why exponential experience systems in RPG’s do not function in the long run.

A dorked out rant about my issues with experience reward leveling systems in various role playing games.  Feel free to ignore this posts existence if you are not into this sort of thing.

Ten hours ago

After staying up for almost 24 hours (so far), my paranoia has grown.

But really, is it just me or is there something eerie about the mannequin cat?

Crap Comics: Adventures in Reading Starring Spider-Man

Saturday, June 20th, 2009

As the comics I’ve written about tonight go, this one actually isn’t that awful. But if you’ve read the previous two “Crap Comics” posts I’ve done tonight, you’ll realize there are still plenty of what the fuck moments in store for you true believers, so let’s begin. (more…)

Facebook Games

For some reason, I do much better on facebook games when I’ve been awake for almost 24 hours…
