PLC does crazy things to you...

I went on a buying spree after last Friday's paper and I just bought this online after today's:



to compliment this that I got years ago:



Hopefully they retain their value more than my dismal attempt at stock trading.

Time to eat grass!

I suck at Economy 101

I still maintain that the economic crisis was due primarily because of the involuntary shrinking of everyone's belt because they were scared off by the economic failures they read about in the news and see on tv. There is no real actual crisis except everyone cutting down on everything, and some even jumping on the bandwagon to cut and save money as an excuse.

If you're a teacher, will you be affected by the economic crisis? MOE is just cutting salaries because they wanna save money and they wanna save money because they (as any company) are inherently trying to cut costs whenever they can. One might argue that the economy is global and even our town councils have investments that depreciate and cause them to lose money. But they are not supposed to invest more than a certain % of their funds in such investments. So what about the rest of it? Similarly, if MOE has such links to the economy, and they have ample funds left, why the excuse to cut salaries?

This economic crisis is a farce and the only ones benefitting from it are the companies (and organizations) that are crying foul. We need people to spend more so banks won't be so scared to lend more and that doesn't help if you cut salaries. You start doing that and you get MORE defaults in payments and don't even start on the layoffs. The whole vicious cycle goes on because of this.

It's just so ridiculous how things can escalate.

It all started with the Barenaked Ladies!

Our whole universe was in a hot dense state,
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. Wait...
The Earth began to cool,
The autotrophs began to drool,
Neanderthals developed tools,
We built a wall (we built the pyramids),
Math, science, history, unraveling the mysteries,
That all started with the big bang!

"Since the dawn of man" is really not that long,
As every galaxy was formed in less time than it takes to sing this song.
A fraction of a second and the elements were made.
The bipeds stood up straight,
The dinosaurs all met their fate,
They tried to leap but they were late
And they all died (they froze their asses off)
The oceans and pangea
See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya
Set in motion by the same big bang!

It all started with the big BANG!

It's expanding ever outward but one day
It will cause the stars to go the other way,
Collapsing ever inward, we won't be here, it wont be hurt
Our best and brightest figure that it'll make an even bigger bang!

Australopithecus would really have been sick of us
Debating out while here they're catching deer (we're catching viruses)
Religion or astronomy, Encarta, Deuteronomy
It all started with the big bang!

Music and mythology, Einstein and astrology
It all started with the big bang!
It all started with the big BANG!

The 90s

Sometimes, I am still amazed that something from the 90s can still look so good. He actually doesn't look very out of place alongside the newly revamped Nolan Batman and Singer Superman.

When the invigilator @ the Bar Examination announced that...

"The color of the examination booklet for today's paper is BLUE"

I actually wondered why my examination booklet was green.

Dammit.
