I am now known as Flyboy.That's because you fail at being a math nerd.
I hate math, actually. I thought maybe I could figure it out, though, and then it was all like, "whoa, my head is full of fuck."

I should make mention that I checked the numbers, and unless I screwed up somewhere, all the numbers do check out correctly.
And according to some organization that does that sort of study, the cost of all 12 days (that last line) is something like $101,000. Apparently, someone out there is interested in keeping track of the cost of the holidays from year to year.

Equipped with his five senses, man explores the universe around him and calls the adventure Science.Exactly! One way to interpret the song seems to suggest that, but the song itself never totaled up how many of each they had by the end of the each day.
