Did you know if you take the number days between Pearl Harbor and 9/11 (end inclusive), add (the number of days between Jesus' death and zombification (inclusive) times 24 hours and subtract one), divide by the number of days between the release of Half-Life and Half-Life 2 (end inclusive), subtract the number of days in a week, then subtract the length of your dick in inches, you'll get tree-fiddy.
