Pictures! (Of Vanity and the Golden Ratio Part II)

I figured this place was getting a bit stale so I added pictures! Hurrah.

Before the plastic surgery (the average male contender):

After the plastic surgery, various improvements made to the chin and nose:
Only through artificial means can we achieve an image that is of impeccable androgyny and alien beauty (in this image, the final touches are made as they surgically remove the eyeglasses from the previous image; the cheeks have been tucked and the lips enhanced for a fuller look):
Before Adobe Photoshop:
After Mad Adobe Photoshop Skills (Rogaine?):
Theme: The Deceptive Effects of Digital Manipulation are presented here in painstaking detail. Don't believe what you see!

A Family Reunion Photo at the Beach 1997:


Only through light and photography are we given the privilege to cherish the most tender moments in life. This is a photo taken during the 2004Li family reunion. There's me (A), the former Chemistry Major and now struggling Microbiology Major. I am the epitome of tragic hero and then there's my self absorbed mother (B) dressed in sky blue and adorned with some pebble necklace. I know she purposely obscures me. After my father died she had been sleeping with my younger brother and my step-sister. My step sister (D) is actually in this picture as well but because she is shy and timid, she may be harder to spot. She is in the distance and was not asked to pose for the photo. She got through college with a porn scholarship. Needless to say, father was proud. My distant cousin (B) from Sweden adorns this photo with her well-shaped ass as she stands with that perfectly formed tush conspicuously distracting from the subject of the photo: me. I asked her once to help me make my babies for me and we haven't spoken ever since and hence the word "distant." The lady in red in the center isn't actually family per se, she's my psycho "now" ex-girlfriend Dakota Fanning (C), who went with us on this particular trip to the Hawaiian Coast. The poor soul was addicted to heroin and sucked dick for quarters.
It's sometimes frustrating to live with a family that's so god damn hot. Due to my social upbringing around people of such immense pulchritude, it is understandable that I have no qualms about incest because frankly, cousins are hot. Hot as hell. It's doesn't matter whether a relationship is platonic or physical, all that matters is that the two consenting parties are in love. These words are cliche only because they ring true.
Of all the family photographs we've taken over the years during various bi-annual family reunions, this one was the best.
For those who don't know due the distracting optical illusion, this is a photograph of a beautiful sea shore.

Vanity and The Golden Ratio

I'm not all about academics per se. I always keep myself busy or rather occupy myself with pet side projects that take too much time. My fare into academics hasn't been the rainbow I hoped it to be as of late but it's coming along, I think.
But you'd be a fool to disregard the epiphanies I've had working away at these pet side projects, they're amazing and hopefully I'd get paid for making such broad social generalizations and stereotypical even-racist assumptions about the world around me.
For example, do you guys ever wonder what's makes an attractive guy? Sure you do! But there's rampant, and blatant homophobia running wild in the contours of our world. Don't want to risk being ostracized by your male peers, or asking the queer dude what's hot and what's not, do you? I have been too and I suppose we men all innately wish we knew what made our opposite wet themselves in between..
And even for chicks, as bizarre as this sounds, you know you are already checking each other's mammaries out as it is. But wait, don't blind yourself with confidence especially from those contrived bullshit quizzes from Cosmo, know how ugly you really are. (or how hot, whichever matters--please don't lie to yourself)
Before I decide to boast on my exemplary achievements in this field, I must say the Rule of the Golden Ratio came to me at the spur of the moment. I mean this wasn't my only stint into scientific absurdity but the empirical evidence is astounding.
Check out the wikipedia article I wrote on my Law. And test yourself.
Also try these. Pic1 Pic2 (Picture of what YOU should be doing)
Dividing your face in 1/3. Divide again and again, measure the standard deviations from God, assuming that God is perfection.
Unfortunately since the Law of the Golden Ratio does not account for how intelligent you are so as a footnote for all those who are incurably dumb, God is the dude with the beard and an interesting history of dying as a dude and coming back to life.
Divide away!
By the way, I ended up with a golden score of 9/10 which I presume is not too shabby.
Update: The research into the the Law of the Golden Ratio is going well. It's applications are numerous and widespread.
As a corollary to finding attractive human beings, the Law of the Golden Ratio could also be applied to say, goats. It's predictive accuracy is currently unchallenged by any other Law we know of.
Is this female goat specimen hot? In 98.3% of the tests, using the method of the Golden Parameter, we predicted correctly which female companion the male goat preferred and subsequently banged the shit out of.
I mean, if you were a goat, you wouldn't want to fuck this piece of shit either.
More to come!
