WolframAlpha in Love

So after posting that “plotting love” shirt a few days ago, a bunch of you guys started creating various equations to improve on ThinkGeek’s heart-shaped design. Here are the results, as generated by the “humane” version of Skynet itself.

plot x^2 + (y-(x^2)^(1/3))^2,x=-1..1,y=-1..1.5

polar plot 2 – 2 sin t + sin t sqrt (abs(cos t))/(sin t + 1.4)

plot x^2+(y-(x^2)^(1/5))^2=1

plot x^2+(y-(x^2)^(1/5))^2<1

And when I asked WolframAlpha if he was in love, here’s what he answered:

The Legend Of Zelda (1987): Hyrule High [Video]

In this charming critically-acclaimed tale of first love, Link (Jon Tomlinson), an eternal optimist and adventurer, seeks to capture the heart of Zelda, an unattainable high school beauty and straight-A student (Zane Bauer). He surprises just about everyone-including himself-when she returns the sentiment. But the high school’s over-possessive, megalomaniacal Principal Ganondorf (Dominic Moschitti) doesn’t approve and it’s going to take more than just the power of love to conquer all.
