The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.

Either you're thinner but wiser, or you're weaker and fatter.....argument for asceticism? For a better diet? For neither, but just man's generally lazy attitude to his responsibility over changes to himself? Something -- something I'm sure I get, but I only expound upon in here because I'm being silly. Yes, I like this.

Dale,
I like the whole thing but especially the play on words with the title. Or was it a play on words?
I'd like to think that it started out as 'Fractions Man' and a third of the way through the 'n' of fractions surrendered to gravity and became a 'u'. A form of poetry in motion.
Roman numerals depress me, 10 years ago I was XXX and now I'm XL.
Thanks for the read,
Mark
