Got this from an e-mail
Chocolate Mathematics

This is pretty neat how it works out.
This is cool chocolate math!!!!!!!

DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!

It only takes about a minute.......
Work this out as you read.

Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to
have
chocolate. (try for more than once but less than 10)

2. Multiply this number by 2 (Just to be bold)

3. Add 5. (for Sunday)

4. Multiply it by 50 (being a bit stupid)
I'll wait while you get the calculator

5. If you have already had your birthday this year, add 1751
If you haven't, add 1750

6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.
(if you remember)

You should have a three digit number

The first digit of this was your original number
(i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).

The next two numbers are your age.

THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2001) IT WILL EVER WORK,

It's fairly good, except for the fact that it's a chain letter, and I hate them all.

If signatures are for losers, why do you have a signature saying that signatures are for losers?

Yes, 2001 is the only year this set-up will work.

Change the numbers in step 5 to 1751/1752, and 2002 will be the only year it will work.

Make them 1752/1753, and it will only work in 2003.

Notice a pattern?

Erm... Flanel is a material. Like silk, or leather, or some other such... stuff.

Flanel is nothing.
