RRK- I think in the spirit of efficiency, we're going to send out all four of the currently active Lowe-Life crew, and test several designs/concepts at once. Wan Hung Lowe's name is actually One Hung Lowe, a moniker reflective of the fact that he was born with testicles so large, that there is room for only one in the sac, the other is lodged up near his heart. He will, in fact, be the designated condom driver on the expedition. Please send 12 dozen in size extra large.

Earlier (somewhere on this thread or some other thread, I don't remember), Piton Ron credited me with the invention of the number 4. Although the number 4 has its' place in the firmament of mathematical reality, I have to say it falls short of my actual invention, which is zero. No, not just the placeholder that most people imagine it to be, the 0 of my conceptualization is an actual number without equal in its' impact. If anyone is interested in this, they might want to pick up a copy of my book (written under the nom-de-plume Charles Seife), ZERO: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea.

Yes, I know it's a joke Jello this, ZERO.
But zero is nihilistic.
On the absolute platform 0+1=1 1+2=1 2+2=1 and so on .....
Everything equals one (1) on the absolute platform.
What does the materialist and the duelist say?

The semi-mathematician says bullsh!t to your sequence of sums.

Yeah but as long as Groucho and Karl are still on the job it will work out.

Setting every sum equal to one is totally arbitrary and useless.
The inherent stupidity is obvious when you claim 0 + 0 = 1, and 0 + 1 = 1
This crap was dealt with over 100 years ago very nicely.
See some of the work involving infinite series and sequences.

How much is that in doggy-years? Does this mean that I have to balance my checkbook? Lighten up Dirt - this is math that I can both grasp and use - if I'm going to fight over a number it'll be 36D.
Jello - the xtra large SRC is only useful as a bivy shelter or pack cover. Size em like climbing shoes - use one size smaller than your regular condom (my sleep-number is 1) and remove them frequently to restore circulation and get rid of tha nasty blue color.

0+0 does equal 1 in my checkbook. ;)

misery loves company - good to know that I'm not the only 1 working today. (Hey I'm good at this) If WB can turn this 1 to a 0 then I'm out the door (temps in the 60's & sunny - OWWW) Don't know how much longer I can hold out

RRK, I've found all numbers in the sequence 32A to 36D to be worthwhile.
As for lightening up, I'm trying, but it's hard to lose weight when your climbing partners prefer to sit on their butts and earn a living.

Wasn't it Groucho Lowe that said, "If I'd known I was going to live this long I'd have taken better care of myself." right before he died testing a cigar/oxygen unit?

Without any actual experimental proof I believe that 36D is the maximum number that I can grasp. Numbers above that value cause my eyes to glaze over and I begin to blubber incoherently in some strange language (this is either an example of speaking-in-tongues or steppin-on-tongues). Also there seems to be some inverse relationship between the size of the number and the amount of money in my pocket. Someone should investigate this phenomenon immediately. Unless I go back to work there will be no money in my pocket for any sort of test. Signing off:

I do believe that RRK's attempts to grasp numeric value have been pursued in a commerce friendly, indeed duty-free, environment.

To get back to the OP - I finally got to use my new Petzl harness (one of the new focus ones with the frame construction yadda yadda) and while I didn't get all sweaty, it pinched me uncomfortably in places I'd rather it didn't! Oh well. Sorry to hijack the hijack.
