-   -   Is it better to be a jock or a nerd? (http://www.ironworksforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=70155)

The answer to the eternal question: Is "it better to be a jock or a
nerd?"

Michael Jordan having "retired," with $40 million in endorsements, he
makes $178,100 a day, working or not.

If he sleeps 7 hours a night, he makes $52,000 every night while visions
of sugarplums dance in his head.

If he goes to see a movie, it'll cost him $7.00, but he'll make $18,550
while he's there.

If he decides to have a 5 minute egg, he'll make $618 while boiling it.

He makes $7,415/hour more than minimum wage.

He'll make $3,710 while watching each episode of Friends.

If he wanted to save up for a new Acura NSX ($90,000) it would take him a

whole 12 hours.

If someone were to hand him his salary and endorsement money, they would
have to do it at the rate of $2.00 every second.

He'll probably pay around $200 for a nice round of golf, but will be
reimbursed $33,390 for that round.

Assuming he puts the federal maximum of 15% of his income into a tax
deferred account (401k), his contributions will hit the federal cap of
$10,500 at 8:45am on January 1st.

If you were given a penny for every 10 dollars he made, you'd be living
comfortably at $65,000 a year.

He'll make about $19.60 while watching the 100 meter dash in the
Olympics, and about $15,600 during the Boston Marathon.

While the common person is spending about $20 for a meal in his trendy
Chicago restaurant, he'll pull in about $5600.

This year, he'll make more than twice as much as all U.S. past presidents

for all of their terms combined.

Amazing isn't it?

However...

If Jordan saves 100% of his income for the next 500 years, he'll still
have less than Bill Gates has at this very moment.

Game over. Nerd wins.

woah, who did all that math? and YEAH! THE NERDS BEAT THE JOCKS YET AGAIN! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! (noo im giving into the capslock lord! nooo!)

It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha, ha, ha. And at the center of that injury, wil be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with the energy of the Planet, I will be come a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet, I will cease to exist as I am now. Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every living soul.

too funny

Heh, but let's face it; everyone loves Jordan, whereas Gates is just a four-eyed geek with a wad of cash.

Hmm... I thought it was a reflection type of thing... but I'd rather have my athleticism and a sound body than bill gates though... http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

Well I dont like him that much..He wasnt an amzing backetball palyer really, he only holds a few recordes if that many.

Gretsky is a beter hockey player then Jordan is a basketball player.

Its 2 diffrent sports I know, but still, Gretskys beter at Gretskys sport then Jordan is at Jordans..

In basketball terms, I think Karl "The Mailman" Malone is beter then Jordan.
