What made me laugh

His professor sent him an e-mail the following day:

Dear Michael,

Every year I attempt to boost my students’ final grades by giving them this relatively simple exam consisting of 100 True/False questions from only 3 chapters of material. For the past 20 years that I have taught Intro Communications 101 at this institution I have never once seen someone score below a 65 on this exam. Consequently, your score of a zero is the first in history and ultimately brought the entire class average down a whole 8 points.

There were two possible answer choices: A (True) and B (False). You chose C for all 100 questions in an obvious attempt to get lucky with a least a quarter of the answers. It’s as if you didn’t look at a single question. Unfortunately, this brings your final grade in this class to failing. See you next year!

May God have mercy on your soul.

Sincerely,
Professor William Turner

P.S. If all else fails, go with B from now on.
B is the new C

How much does a pint of stout cost around the world ?



In Sydney , it costs USD3.84
In Singapore , it costs USD9.66
In Seoul , it costs USD14.49
Wouldn't it be great if you could take all the stout in Sydney and sell them @ Seoul ? so if you could possibly make a profit of USD(14.49 - 3.84). Of course if you include factors like tax or transport cost and handling cost etc , the profit margins might diminish. And this is possible only if the company has a two-tier or market pricing vs standard pricing.

I been reading the Asian wall street journal weekends on friday and spotted their little article on this , they compared things like ikea book shelf to high end printers. Interesting prospect to profit from. (Do you think you can find such international stuff in Singapore papers ? i doubt so - go on and waste your $$ on it !)

Arbitrage : In economics and finance, arbitrage is the practice of taking advantage of a price differential between two or more markets: a combination of matching deals are struck that capitalize upon the imbalance, the profit being the difference between the market prices.

Channel NewsAsia vs CNBC's coverage of our employment situation...




Channel NewsAsia as usual, is very optimistic. It says more jobs were created in early 2008. Hooray! Oh, but wait... CNBC carrying a report by Reuters, paints a bleak picture. It says that the jobless rate in Singapore has risen and may climb further.

So which is it? More jobs or more jobless? Argh! I'm confused.


My comments : when looking at an issue, look from multiple perspectives and determine the actual story .. use triangulation ! speaks volumes of our media =)

Theory section:


I think the world is overpopulated liao... thats why so many problems coming up

the world can only sustain enough people such that the energy consumption of people is < or = the energy captured from the sun via various mechanisms.
going beyond this will be unsustainable in the very long run.

in the amazon , there is a fungi that feeds on each species of ants , controlling their population.
in the human society , there is little mechanisms that can effectively control the boom in population.

Predators ? Nah thats exception rather then norm.
Diseases ? Not enough fatal ones out there.
Natural disasters? Not devastating enough.

that burst in population leads to so many of out problem , like the strong oil demand , the food prices , even global warming can be attributed to the this surge in population.

So Humans should set up a multilateral agreement to have controls that will keep the population growth in check , without harming either the short term / long term economic health of all parties , and stifle the effect of overpopulation on the long term sustainability of humans on earth.

if the end of the world were to be resulted , its probably a result of our own doing , or the lack of any.
