pluralbut according to
Them
I am worth
exactly: $2,534,316.00
which is
strange because
usually the only way
I get a valuation
that high
is if
the "condition=deceased"
variable is defined.
what are you Worth
a side note:
according to their figures
I am
somewhere between
Immanuel Kant (on the high end)
and
Charles Darwin (on the low end)
when it
comes to intellect
I can live with that

Date: 2001-07-27 07:15 pm (UTC)is the greatest weight
of all the questions
my
pontoon feet
probably shot
me right past you there
Re: actually if you read the fine print
Date: 2001-07-27 07:18 pm (UTC)yep yep
Date: 2001-07-27 07:37 pm (UTC)and
you need
a stable platform
think of a tree
with a skinny trunk
ya hang too big a branch off it
and it all comes crashing down
see large feet provide
the stable platform
to hang
a much bigger
branch
Re: yep yep
Date: 2001-07-27 07:40 pm (UTC)somehow
Date: 2001-07-27 08:03 pm (UTC)needing to rely
upon a tripods stability
would
significantly
hamper the effectiveness
after all
a branch is
intended
to swing
[well that]
[and provide]
[a place for]
[a bird to sit]

eh?
Re:
Date: 2001-07-29 04:40 pm (UTC)There is a very sound economic theory that says you are only worth the expected net present value of your life's earnings...
Judging from the questions, they were inteded to input parameters to some nutty model that was using this idea: the height/weight/disease questions give the 'expected' part (ie life expectancy), the education, size, etc. give some indication as to the amount of dough you will make... they use some absurd presumption of inflation, and they value all that dough back...

Date: 2001-07-29 04:50 pm (UTC)where do you
place the
questions
which relate neither
to life expectancy
nor
to earnings potential
(i.e. cock size)
simply a
distraction?
and if that were
the matrix how would
someone of my
seemingly inadequate
education
surpass one of your
exemplary credentials?
Re:
Date: 2001-07-29 04:55 pm (UTC)As for the discrepancy, I acount it two ways:
1) I have 10 years LESS to earn than you (since I'll likely die 10 years earlier, since I'm 10 years older)...
2) I put my IQ somewhere in the mid 140's since that's what it was when it was last tested...
ok I can buy that
Date: 2001-07-29 05:07 pm (UTC)of course I smoke
so that would be
diminished
and even with your
advanced age you
should have
atleast another 20 years
left to make core income
if not thirty years.
and considering
my lack of a
college edumacation
in theory you should
be able to earn significantly
more per year over those 30 years
so where
I have 25% more time
than you
you by their standard
would have appromixately
40% more of earning potential
per year
so if we take the 40%
then over the 30 years
of your career
you would gain 2 years
of income for every 5
worked
six 5 years blocks
out of a 30 year career
would furnish an additional
12 years of my earnings
which would in
theory put you ahead
would it not?
Re: ok I can buy that
Date: 2001-07-29 05:55 pm (UTC)I don't buy that I'll necessarily make 40% more... If I were writing that estimation program, I'd make the values random, with certain factors adding not only to the location (average) of their values, but to their volitility (the variation)...
It could also be just the luck of the draw...
Plus you can't forget that you put in a higher IQ, and likely a higher HS GPA (mine sucked ass due to the fact that I was utterly psychotic)...
These things would likely lower your estimates...
