- If we are going to keep posting pickup lines, I think we need a rating
- system...
-
- I just happen to have one here...
-
- My highschool physics teacher once described the rating system used by the
- engineering students at the U of M (in the early Pliocene or Plistocene I think)
- that made comparison to the fabled Helen of Troy (ie. deca-hellen ==> would
- cause 10K ships to sail, millehellen ==> would cause 1 ship to sail, negahellen
- would cause 1K ships to sink...)
-
- I prepose a variant for pickup lines:
- The base unit would be the 'keg' (preferabley Guinness).
- And the rating would be how many kegs the pickup line's victim would have
- had to drink to have the line work...
