Oh Crap the nerds are taking over :lol:


but I thought the mathmatical formula for love was the integral of 2x from 10 to 13 ??(in case i flubbed the terminology thats 13 on the top of the integral symbol and 10 on the bottom)

your a true nerd if you either already know that or sit and figure it out, and a bigger nerd if you think its clever or funny
