I wish. Actually, I don’t, that would be a little dangerously skinny for me, but probably better than the alternative.

Well, pounds or kilograms, now that is the question. (The legs say metric, or possibly a short person.)

Real Man’s™ rum & coke: Jolt Cola and 151.

I do not recommend it. But I sure did feel clever for a few hours.

In loving thee thou know’st I am forsworn,
But thou art twice forsworn, to me love swearing,
In act thy bed-vow broke and new faith torn,
In vowing new hate after new love bearing.
But why of two oaths’ breach do I accuse thee,
When I break twenty? I am perjured most,
For all my vows are oaths but to misuse thee,
And all my honest faith in thee is lost.
For I have sworn deep oaths of thy deep kindness,
Oaths of thy love, thy truth, thy constancy,
And to enlighten thee, gave eyes to blindness,
Or made them swear against the thing they see:
For I have sworn thee fair; more perjured eye,
To swear against the truth so foul a lie

I was going all wiki-fu and the entry for 154 stood out and had to be copied. wikipedia 154, you’ll see the embedded links. AWESOME.

154 is a nonagonal number. Its factorization makes 154 a sphenic number
There is no integer with exactly 154 coprimes below it, making 154 a noncototient, nor is there, in base 10, any integer that added up to its own digits yields 154, making 154 a self number
154 is the sum of the first six factorials, if one starts with 0! and assumes that 0!=1.
With just 17 cuts, a pancake can be cut up into 154 pieces (Lazy caterer’s sequence).
The distinct prime factors of 154 add up to 20, and so do the ones of 153, hence the two form a Ruth-Aaron pair. 154! + 1 is a factorial prime.

We’re going to need a bigger pancake…

I had never heard of this, and it’s cool. I love recreational mathematics.
