Incalculable benefits


The benefits may, in fact, be entirely calculable.
Martindale’s Calculators claims to list over 18,000 online calculators, useful for all of those awkward tasks one needs to fulfil nowadays, from Carbon 14 dating,calculating water drip rates and working out eye-colour inheritance to finding mandolin chordscalculating leg length and all those awkward properties of tubes.
Best of all are the sporting calculators, so that you can compute your decathlon score and, while you’re at it, work out how likely you are to get injured in the next twelve months.
I’m 25% likely to incur an injury playing football. Cricket would be a mere 20%, and dancing a babyish 15%. If I were a darts player I would carry a mere 6% risk of injury.
Just bump up your insurance if you’re a keen Gaelic footballer. You’re 85% likely to get injured playing the sport this year.
