Interesting Math
If the 26 letters of the English alphabets of: A, B, C, D, E…..X, Y, Z is converted to percentage respectively as listed below:
A=1% B =2% C=3% D=4% E=5% F=6% G=7% H=8% I=9% J=10% K=11% L=12% M=13% N=14% O=15% P=16% Q=17% R=18% S=19% T=20% U=21% V=22% W=23% X=24% Y=25% Z=26%
Then we would have the following interesting conclusions:
1. H+A+R+D+W+O+R+K = 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
2. K+N+O+W+L+E+D+G+E = 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
3. L+O+V+E = 12+5+22+5 = 54%
4. L+U+C+K = 12+21+3+11 = 47%
Then, all these above items which we value so much are not perfect, although they are important. Then what will let our lives become perfect?
5. Is it money? NO
M+O+N+E+Y = 13+15+14+5+25 = 72%
6. Is it Leadership? NO
L+E+A+D+E+R+S+H+I+P = 12+5+1+4+5+18+19+9+16 = 89%
7. Is it Sex? NO
S+E+X = 19+24+5 = 48%
Then, what can make our lives 100% perfect?
8. It’s Attitude = 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

Health Question & Answer
** The purpose of this fictional page is to exercise your cheek muscles only. Oh, I mean your facial cheek muscles.
Q: I’ve heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?
A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that’s it… don’t waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that’s like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.
Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.
Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!
Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have a body and you have body fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.
Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
A: Can’t think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain…Good
Q: Aren’t fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU’RE NOT LISTENING!!!. Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they’re permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?
Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.
Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy? HELLO ….. Cocoa beans .. another vegetable!!! It’s the best feel-good food round!
Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.
Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?
A: Hey! ‘Round’ is a shape!
