How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
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
