While some of the numbers seem plausible, the "190-345" on the leg press seems to be too large a difference.

Nix the metric idea. 1 kilogram = 2.2 lb, and the ratios of the numbers are not consistent.

Same. Modern abstracts are even worse. I can't stand those 'paintings' of a 10x10 white square with a red line going right through the middle. Woopifuckingdoo, call the care police!

I just love that trick they played on some of these idiots. They took a giant white canvas, 3 monkeys, and gave them paint.

The monkeys obviously went mad with the paint and made random shapes and stuff on the canvas.

They then displayed this on a modern art exhibition in a gallery, and somebody wanted to purchase it. They let the guy meet the artist before he threw away a few million pounds...

Shit man you are another one making Canadians look like retards.


Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

I have an IQ of 140 and still had no idea what he meant. I'm not sure the answer given was even to the right question. Bit of assumption there IMO


I'm 34 - when am I officially an old fart?

You can only understand if your IQ is below a certain value.

Notice his perfect squat form in this picture. Is that why you posted this one in particular? I think he's below parallel!!
