Used as a substitute for his name or as a copypasta.

"I can give you a percentage. It is actually, I believe it is, 17.8% of the people I run D&D for will continue to be my friends once the game is done. I have made that calculation. I have made that calculation on 4 separate occasions. The evidence is empirical." ~ Mr. 17.8 Percent

47 percent

Approximately, 47% of the households did not pay federal income tax in 2011. This was in part because the Republicans lowered taxes on the poor to justify huge tax reductions for the extremely wealthy classes during the Bush Era. However, many in the 47% category still pay other types of taxes such as payroll taxes, property taxes, sales taxes, state income taxes, and fees, etc.

The Romney Doctrine promotes the idea that many of these people are unable to change because they feel like they are victims. This includes retirees and elderly, poor that are sick or disabled, mentally incompetent, working poor, under employed and unemployed, students, and farmers who depend on government assistance during part of their lives. Many of these people feel entitled to these government benefits after paying into these systems for most of their lives through income and payroll taxes and fees. And many of them will not vote for a presidential candidate that will dismantle much of the social safety net, or that favors a privatization of these systems.

Approximately, 47 percent of the households in the US did not pay income taxes.
Most of these households paid payroll, and other state and federal taxes and fees.

Pencil and Sharpener theory

The lock and key theory can finally be disproved. The lock and key theory states that "A key that opens many locks is a master key, yet a lock that can be opened by many keys is a useless lock" The counter theory, the pencil and sharpener theory states that "a pencil that is sharpened by a lot of sharpeners becomes a useless stub/pencil while a sharpener that sharpens a lot of pencils is a good pencil sharpener" This theory is rarely favoured by males... for some reason.

Are you curious to know how this proof was derived? if YES, Click on Alt + F4 (on windows) and ⌘ + Shift + W (on a mac)

The pencil and sharpener theory is mostly used to shut a boy up when he brings up the lock and key theory. Works everytime

Percabeth

The word "percabeth" is the shipping/couple name for Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase in the Percy Jackson and Olympians series. Percabeth is the most shipped couples in the whole series. They get together at the end of The Last Olympian, and it's hinted (and hoped) that they will have a long and happy relationship together. Percy and Annabeth started out as two demigods who are forced to work together (Annabeth is the daughter of Athena, and Peryc is the son of Poseidon, therefore Annabeth, who takes great pride in her mother, is naturally offensive towards Percy), really good friends, and as early as The Sea of Monsters, they are hinted for romance. At the end of the book, Annabeth kisses Percy on the cheek at the end of their chariot race. In the Titan's Curse, Annabeth was kidnapped by the protagonist Luke and Percy was determined to find her and is convinced that she is still alive. In the Battle of the Labyrinth, Annabeth kissed Percy on top of Mt. St. Helens, when Percy told Annabeth to escape. Percy was later stranded on Calypso's Island for about two weeks, during which Annabeth was devastated. In The Last Olympian, Annabeth is revealed to have an instinct that Percy was in danger even though he was supposed to invulnerable and instinctively saves his life. The book ends with Annabeth and Percy running down half-Blood Hill, off to a good start.

"Percabeth is the best thing since Royai."
