Yes, yes, yes, I know the equation isn't meant to really be taken extra-seriously, but has anyone else actually plugged values into it? To me, it looks like it either returns relatively smallish values, or I didn't Perl-ize the equation correctly.

I won't be wholly surprised if I'm the only person to have immediately thought of making the equation into "$c = (2 * sqrt((sqrt($p)-.9)/2)) - ($sf/600) - sqrt((.8 * $a)+11) - (.7 * $p) + 10.5;", but hey.

Alright, well. Begin mocking my geekery.

THIS is the crap i found there...no thanks.
