EMPIRICAL: Based on or relating to real world data or analysis. Empirical should be contrasted with the theoretical. Whereas theoretical refers to abstract representations, empirical is actual real world observations. Empirical observation is critical to the scientific method.

BROWN PRAGMATOX
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who is the poster child for the word "frugal," and you might even buy the poster if it cost less. Family and friends take you shopping whenever they buy big, bulky items that require a lot of lifting. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time at a garage sale hoping to buy either car battery jumper cables or a dozen high trajectory optic orange golf balls. Be on the lookout for the happiest person in the room. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter P, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 490096. Your preferred shopping venue is thrift stores. Your special symbol is the comma (,).
Is this You?
As a Brown Pragmatox, you are down-to-earth and practical. You are hard working and industrious. You are frugal to the point that you might even refrain from making a purchase that you really, really need. Doing so often causes problems down the road. You definitely go with function over form and substance over style.
This isn't me! What am I?

Getting Your Share Of FARM SUBSIDIESOur pedestrian excursion through the economy has helped me work up a ferocious appetite. I vote for a quick stop at the Mr. Market Super Food Discount Store where we can purchase a loaf of bread, assorted meats, and some cheese -- all for a luncheon tribute to the Earl of Sandwich. While a self-made tribute to the Earl is less expensive than any purchased from Manny Mustard's House of Sandwich, the ingredients from Mr. Market Super Food Discount Store still carry a hefty price tag. If you're hungry and have limited cash on hand, you might wonder whether food prices are higher than they need to be.
