Q: "WHAT does F = (LBC2/4HCAL)/5(r2) mean?!?!?!? A: If you have to ask, you should be told. LBC = Long Bodied Cat (to protect CaCaLand ferrets). HCAL = Hard Core Animal Lover. "i2" is the ferret "intensity" constant (i squared), factoring in variables (including but not limited to) ear licks, stock stealing, snuggling, nose biting, war dancing, snorkling, butt dragging, and qhat intense look on a ferret's face when dropping a load. If you study the equation carefully, you will see it is the only explanation for the intensitiy of emotion displayed by ferret lovers towards ferrets. Bob C [Posted in FML issue 4185]
