it's the year 3000 and it's hot

For the first time in history, humans will have to adopt to new conditioons of temperatures (global warming). For the first time ever humans will have to be contempt with being referred to as endangered species. One scientist joked that humans might need to grow some fur to protect themselve against the heat. Is global warming a reality or was it brought up by a struggling scientist? Have you heard about one journalist who worked for a certain magazine and was in the habit of making stories up in order to progress in his young career. Well the chap was a hit among the readers especially after reporting about one conference he attended.

This conference was attended by hackers from around the world to celebrate a success of one hacker who hacked a website of a well known company frequently and the costs incuured by the compan to stop him were very high. Now this company had decided to hire him instead. As they negotiated conditions of employment, this young hacker (15) said" I want a year subscription to Playboy, monthly vouchers of McDonald, VIP tickets to the clubs...." It was indeed a cool contract of employment and so his pals had joined to celebrate. ..Well the story was later proven (like many others to be false).

Well the moral of the story is that in certain instances some struggling professional who is bored might make up a story and the paranoid world invest heavily on this office joke. Remember 7 years ago (2000) when the crazy people of this world were made to believe that the earth was coming to an end. Crazy brokers advised clients to dispose their shares claiming that the future was "uncertain". Others who were less fortunate were convinced that thay had to jump before others went down.

Before believing the whole saga about global warming, I would like to see the first guy who said global warming, assess his prior success rate in terms of his career and then ya, I will advocate against gas emmisions. Until then I am not listening to a broker who will advise me to sell. By the time You read this, the temperature might have soared.

everything else

In African tradition, a man has to pay a sum to the family of his spouse to be before the marriage. During one summer I really had to marry my long-term sweet-heart but it was a year in which I was having extensive financial difficulty. I had to approach my bank to finance my marriage fee (lobola) and my advisor, unknown to African ritual was surprised. He promised to do a research on the matter. He later called me and said " We did a study on your propposed investment and we realised that in marriage life the first year the woman will talk and you will listen, then in the second year, you will talk and she will listen but in the third year both of you will talk and none will listen. The conclusion is that it is a risky investment which will be wriiten off in the third year."
