Having just returned to the Bay Area from LA by car, I feel compelled to advance my Grand Unified Theory of Everything (relating to human interaction) which came to me almost entirely by observing traffic patterns. Human behavior, I have found, is entirely predictable based on this model:

One Fan's Perspective: UFC 104 The Shogun & Machida fight

'Shogun' Rua

First of all, Shogun won that fight.

Lyoto, as "elusive" and "technical" he is, and he IS an incredible fighter, has one weakness - he doesn't attack. He's a counter-puncher that Shogun had the kryptonite for. He picked him apart from the outside with kicks, covered up when Lyoto punched, and was kept off balance by Shogun's takedown attempts and strikes from all angels. Lyoto lost every round in that fight, something that's never happened to him in the UFC before. He was gassed, he was cut, and probably has broken ribs and bruised leg bones. in short: he was shown to be mortal.

Turns to me, and he says, "why so serious, son?" Comes at me with the knife... "Why so serious?" He sticks the blade in my mouth... "Let's put a smile on that face!" And...

The Joker: Why so serious?

Megan Fox in GQ

When i was a young guy, 19 or 20, i had a girlfriend, one job working as a lifeguard and another working behind the bar in a nightclub, and I was training in MMA and grappling.

But I had no clue.

Then came the magical day when one of my buddies left out a copy of GQ magazine. I had a little money, and recognized that perhaps my dress and grooming weren't as up to date as it could be, so I wanted to see what the best-dressed minds in print had to sell me.
