Freecycle Christmas

Wed, 17 Dec 2008 13:43:00+0100

I have recently been trying to clear some junk out of my house and being relunctant to throw useful stuff away i decided to join Freecycle and give it away to a good home. That means I now get emails offering me more stuff! How can I resist? Today an email from freecycle which was formatted in a unusual way prompted this thought....

Just a note to wish everyone a heppy christmas. I have been pretty busy this month and had no chance to post a blog entry. I promise to catch up soon. In the mean time I heard a German joke that amused me yesterday. When ever there are two council workers in a room with air conditioning there is only one doing any work. Thats the air conditioning!

Strange Mathematical Proof

Wed, 10 Jan 2007 09:12:00+0100

Engineers and scientists will never make as much money as business executives. Now we have a mathematical proof that explains why this is true: Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power. Postulate 2: Time is Money. As every engineer knows, Work/Time = Power Since knowledge is power, and time is money, we have: Work/Money = Knowledge Solving for Money, we get: Work/Knowledge = Money Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity regardless of the amount of Work done. Conclusion: The Less you Know, the More you Make. Note: It has been speculated that the reason why Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard's math program was because he stumbled upon this proof as an undergraduate, and dedicated the rest of his career to the pursuit of ignorance.

My Brother send me a link to a nice Flash movie with a Christmas song. And a link to his web site, not all of which I agree with.
