My creativity and weight* are both at all time lows according to my bathroom Mass-Creatometertm.     By doing some basic correlation** and by drawing an attractive timeline in the snow with an uncooked spaghetti noodle I’m able to draw this startling conclusion:     There is a correlation between physical fitness and creative humorism.     I wasn’t absolutely sure, so I did what I always do. I hit the lab, donned my ceremonial latex hand coats, Leica manufactured goggles, ate three pieces of chalk and started writing on the wall with my tongue.     One half hour later I stepped back to admire my work:     Incontrovertible proof of the Piscopolean Mediocrousy.

Correlation(r) = NΣXY – (ΣX)(ΣY) / Sqrt([NΣX2 - (ΣX)2][NΣY2 - (ΣY)2])
N=the number of samples, in this case four
X=each instance of funny creativeness recorded. (on a ten scale where 1=humor sucking wasteland of absorbent pap and 10=gut-wrenching and devastating cleverness the likes of which would make a victorian bishop cook muffins on a stormy night)
Y=each weight recorded at the time in metric pounds.

date	X Value	Y Value	X*Y	X*X	Y*Y

ΣX=19.5
ΣY=804
ΣXY=4137.5
ΣX²=119.25
ΣY²=163578

NΣXY – (ΣX)(ΣY) / Sqrt([NΣX2 - (ΣX)2][NΣY2 - (ΣY)2])
(4*4137.5)-(19.5*804)/Sqrit([(4*119.35)-(19,5*19.5)]*[(4*163578)-(804*804)])
16550-15678/Sqrt([477.4-380.25]*[654312-646416])
872/Sqrt(97.15*7896)
872/Sqrt(767096.4)
872/875.84

Correlation coefficient: 0.99

Tomas, you left sunglasses at my house. Don’t worry, I’ll bring them to you.*
