Love Calculator
Jul. 12th, 2004 08:26 pmOkay, this one I just HAD to post... :D
Part of the message during yesterday's church service (yes, I go regularly) involved the pastor telling a story about how, when he did a google search for "love," he came up with something like 3 million hits (it was probably more, but I'm writing this from memory). Anyway, it turns out one of the sites he came up with was The Love Calculator... and for fun he decided to put in his name and his wife's name. Here's what it said:
These are the results of the calculations by Dr. Love: 54%
Dr. Love thinks that a relationship between [said pastor] and [his wife] has a reasonable chance of working out, but on the other hand, it might not. Your relationship may suffer good and bad times. If things might not be working out as you would like them to, do not hesitate to talk about it with the person involved. Spend time together, talk with each other.
... at which point the pastor reportedly told his wife, "It's too late... you already married me!" :)
Then, again for fun, he typed in his name and the name of another pastor at the same church (they pick on each other all the time, all in fun) and came up with:
These are the results of the calculations by Dr. Love: 23%
Dr. Love thinks a relationship might work out between [pastor 1] and [pastor 2], but the chance is very small. A successful relationship is possible, but you both have to work on it. Do not sit back and think that it will all work out fine, because it might not be working out the way you wanted it to. Spend as much time with each other as possible. Again, the chance of this relationship working out is very small, so even when you do work hard on it, it still might not work out.
His reaction? "I work with this guy enough as it is... no way am I spending more time with 'im!" :)
Of course, after the service, my own curiosity took over and I decided to check out the web site. And I decided to enter in the name of a friend, as well as that friend's significant other (I leave it up to you to figure out who I'm talking about -- though it turns out they're both on my LJ friends list). Here were the results:
These are the results of the calculations by Dr. Love: 99 %
Dr. Love thinks that a relationship between [person 1] and [person 2] has a very good chance of being successful, but this doesn't mean that you don't have to work on the relationship. Remember that every relationship needs spending time together, talking with each other etc.
Things that make you go "hmmm"....
