Greg, Frank, you both bring up a rather glaring point. I will have to rework that formula.

Old article but I just saw it. The end formula should be (bc)^2. As it stands only the cheese is squared.

@Uncle Jake: If said bacon does not exist when observed, and there is no way of proving unobserved bacon, is it safe to say that all bacon is observed, and therefore, all bacon does not exist. This proves Finneganistan’s argument, that bacon’s deliciousness does and does not exist, because while it’s deliciousness is observed, it’s failure to exist also proves that it’s deliciousness can not exist.

Your bacon-cheese relationship, b c = bc^2 (I can’t do a superscript), reduces to b = 1/c for c>>1, or “bacon is the inverse of cheese.” I think this disproves your hypothesis via reductio ad absurdium, one of my favorite logics, because we all know that the inversion of cheese does not result in bacon, even if the inverse function is applied in a cheesy way.

Perhaps a fix to this dilema would be to include a proportionality constant, thus b = K/c. Here, bacon is proportional to but not equal to the inverse of cheese in a cheesy way. I chose K because c was already used for cheese and I wanted something that sounded like “cracker,” though I’d rather it came out to c/K which is the more normal orientation.

Hope this helps.

Bacon ? I have observed this phenomenon first hand, and can tell you for a fact that there is an amount of bacon that can be described as too much, but only in the event that one actually eats it, and experiences an increase in one’s dress that is directionally proportionate to the amount of bacon eaten. This being said, any amount of bacon that is under the amount of bacon that could increase ones size and decrease one’s health is /bacon 4 U, but can still be used to surprise your friends, make sculpture, or experiment with a new recipe for Bacon Cola.

@ Poser: If bacon is observed it will be eaten, then it will cease to exist. Have you ever observed the phenomenon of leftover bacon? I certainly haven’t, and I believe it may be a purely hypothetical construct.

at what point do we achieve diminishing returns in bacon coercive improvement…

…and, if there is no one to observe said bacon, does bacon cease to exist and thus negate is delicinosity
