The person today is Napoleon Bonaparte. I've found alot of quotes so far that are enjoyable to make fun of, such as these:
"A picture is worth a thousand words."-Napoleon Bonaparte.
"A word is worth a thousand Pictures."-Michael Bruner.
Obviously there's some dispute as to the currency exchange between words and pictures. Both of these two men were optimists (Napoleon thought he could conquer Russia in the wintertime, and Michael Bruner writes for FaithInTheWorkplace.com), so maybe a pessimist should take a look at it. A famous painting could sell for a few million dollars, but so could a signature from some famous not-to-be-named golf players. What some people think is that the worth of both pictures and words are different ways of expressing feeling and emotion, in other words (or pictures), they are two different ways of looking at the same apple. I disagree. Obviously the worth of words and pictures are based on the amount of ink used, the colors used, the time-period it was written/drawn/painted/whatever, the value of the Brazilian real, and whoever wrote/drew/painted/whatever it. Here's the mathematical formula:
W=[i(Milliliters)+C]+t+[CWBR]+A
--------------------------
[0.5]t
W=worth
i=ink amount
C=R+B+Y+G+P+O+P+GR+BR+S+BL
colors=(Red=0, Blue=5, yellow=2, green=5, purple=4, white=2, orange=3, pink=-1, gray=3, brown=2, silver=5, black=8)
CWBR=Current worth of Brazilian Real
A=Author/Artist (for those not mentioned: # of characters in name divided by one sixth of the # of charcters. Bob Herman= 1.5
Exceptions:
Einstein=3.141592653...
Leonardo Da Vinci=6 (cubit=6 palms. According to da Vinci, a man's height is 24 palms. Therefore, Napoleon wasn't a man)
t=Time period.
B.C.=15
Dark Ages=1
Renaissance (1300-1599)=8
The New World (1600-1830)=6
Time of the West (1830-1899)=20 (30 if a cowboy said it)
Industrial age (1900-1938)=5
War(1939-1945)=2
Space Age(1946-1990)=10
Now(2000-2010)=6
Post-Apocalyptic=100
September Ninth=101
Yep, nothing good happened from 1990-1999.

You know, many people argue that the '90s didn't even happen.
ReplyDeleteIf P = 1000W, and W = 1000P, then P = 1000(1000P), or P x 10^7. Likewise, W = W x 10^7. So not only is a picture worth a thousand words, but it is also worth a million pictures. And a single word is worth a million words.
The only other way for these formulae to work out would be if P=0 and W=0. Or, in other words, there are NO pictures and there are NO words.
That's half-empty for ya.
You're assuming that both Napoelon and Bruner were right. Again, Napoleon got half his army killed in Russia and Bruner writes for FaithInTheWorkPlace.com. Besides, the formula isn't that simple.
