Dear Ken, I used to be very interested in Pythagorasfari, 20 years ago. They were very liberal regarding food and specially smoke. Keep Jacob out of the temptations of Reggae music and weed contemplation. When I stayed in London for almost a month I couldn't help thinking that probably everyone in the subway had beans for breakfast... Pythagoreans sure thought ahead of their time... Cheers from someone with almost 300 (LDL+HDL).

Like my dog Jacob, I have a tendency to prefer high-fat dairy products to the low-fat varieties. Blame it on Pythagoras. The Pythagoreans forbid eating beans. I'm certain this leads to chubby calculus. To accompany lamb dishes or to enrich and thicken fresh soup (or boiled beef), I often use beans. Unlike David's dog, I have never been able to achieve a proper form. Fortunately, my tall, elegant wife has a fondness for short, slightly chubby calculists who are losing hair and growing long in the tooth. Along with the dogs in my pack, Ditte likes my cooking. Somehow, her form never changes, while mine does. Yours, Ken Eduardo Corte-Real wrote: “your calculus seems a bit chubby.”
