Love Calculator

So on the internet you see all these relationship, love and marriage calculators floating around. They're pretty much the same. You enter your name and someone else's, presumably someone you're in a relationship/ want to be in a relationship with, and then the love calculator calculates your compatibility. Now you shouldn't need me to tell you this, but these things are absolutely ridiculous. And I think anyone who believes it is mentally impaired.

For example, if you go on http://lovecalculator.com.au/, you'll find that there is 100% compatibility between "Vane" and "Tits". Pretty cool, eh? I thought it was too. And I was going to venerate this thing until it came up with 100% compatibility for "Vane" and "AIDS". Fuck you too, you piece of shit.

What got me looking up love calculators in the first place? Well, someone I know (but I'm not particularly close to) recently broke up with their girlfriend. And yup, you guessed it, they broke up over a love calculator. Now I don't actually know the details, because like I said I don't know them very well, but oh my God this is so stupid, I am actually cringing.


I mean, superstition is fun every now and then. Star signs, palm reading, blood type, Chinese zodiac--- even fortune cookies. Hell, there was this fortune cookie which told me I'd be an excellent lawyer, because I paid attention to detail. That's not quite true, because I am quite negligent of everything, though I do like the idea of me being an excellent lawyer.

Moral of the story? Don't break up with someone over a lover calculator, goddammit.
