it has more uses then just film grossings, that was just the inspirateion...

but to calculate the rest, we must find the cronomic equivelant of Pi.

The single useful constant... it would have to be the rise in can prices per year if that were a constant... any ideas?
Oh and we'd have to do it in american terms - cause in Australia we cross the 14th February 1966 line and it all goes out the window.

The measurment of boredom in units of insanity. The more bored you are, the more insane the things you do to have fun.

1 boredom involves going onto messageboards for hours on end

5 boredom involves playing in traffic

5000 boredom involves taping cats to every part of your body, threatening to bomb the White House with your cat-suit, then actually doing it.

Whoa... funny mental image there.
How many boredom would I need to wear a suit of articulated berylium-polonium sheathed in U-235 surrounded by conventional explosives and an outer casing that makes me look like the master chief and do that to the white house.

No. Its only a hypothetical device, but if it works its a personal nuclear weapon.

how about a racsim chart?

measured in neoroman figures.

k = amusing joke at expense of ethnic group
kk = derogatry remark or unfair blanket statement about specific race
kkk = active participation or support for organised groups devoted to the cause
w = invading another country and pulling civilians of the street to torture and humiliate.

I'd measure racism in 'k' as well. Can there be a millik or a kilok or something?

How many k's equal a w?

MNE: Well, your idea would be less insane, because it would actually do something, unlike a suit of cats. It doesn't even factor in on the scale, unless it's caused by boredom.

If you were bored enough you might start wearing a personal nuclear weapon... i'd probably take about 12,677 boredoms. And at least three decinutbars, a nutbar being the amount of madness required to attempt to escape from a mental asylum using wombats.

Nuclear weapons need a detonator, they don't blow up from getting hot. Two chuncks of plutonium or whatever are flung into each other, creating a Japan-leveling explosion.

I realise I might get some weird looks here but here goes.
There are two kinds of nuke. implosion and gun. Gun is a long barrel, with a lump of U-235 at one end and another wedge-shaped lump at the other end, with a conventional explosive behind it. The detonator goes, the explosive sets off and drives the wedge into the lump, causing critical mass and a nuclear explosion.
Implosion is a sphere, with an outer skin of conventional explosives over a layer of U-235 enhanced with plutonium (sometimes) over a central core of berylium-polonium. The explosives go, driving the uranium to the core, where it bunches up, hits critical mass and foom.
If you were wearing a personal nuke, don't get burned, cause the fire would trigger the detonator system, the conventional explosives would go off and your nuke would go off prematurely. Admittedly you die a horrible death when it does go off anyway, unless you do some serious engineering work and are phenomenally strong.

Are you a physician or something? And what I said was the same thing, just not as fancy.
