I Promise This Will Be One of the Last Posts Involving a Picture of a Urinal: A Post Inspired by Modern Artsy Fartsy People.

Apparently in contemporary art it is appropriate to display something as your own if you picked it out.

Today's post is from "A Nice Place to Dig" I found it while reading her blog. And then I pulled the classic cut and paste. It is an explanation of why she is in love with Mathematician Grigori Perelman. It reminded me of happier times.

All I Know Is That It's Love
Bela and Helen have asked why I think Grigori Perelman and I would make a great couple. The reasons, though perhaps subtle in nature, are valid and numerous. We have lots in common.

1. He’s a brilliant Mathmatician + I’m a brilliant Poet = we’re both brilliant
2. He turned down the Fields Medal + I’ve never posted my brilliant poetry in my blog = neither of us care if others know how brilliant we are
3. He turned down a million dollars + I gave up my trustfund = we’re both content to live like normal, unbrilliant people
4. He was offered a prestigious prize in Mathamatics+ I was featured on the jumbo-tron while drinking 1 + 3 Pink Panty Pulldowns at a Vols game = we’ve both been recognized by a committee of people who were formed to find other people
5. He has a Candidate of Science Degree + I have a Master of Fine Arts Degree = neither of us have a real PhD

And last but not least…

Sometimes you just can't explain why you love someone...especially if you've never met them. I will just say this: my devotion is fierce, and sometimes it's best if its directed at people who don't know me and aren't in any real danger of meeting me.
