Nuclear missile graffiti

Should a nuclear missile have drawings on it and if yes should the themes be happy and peaceful or sad and catastrophic? Who do you think is in charge of nuclear offence design, men women or gay people? Should the design be more explicit? How can we explain the phallic shape of nuclear missiles? Is it the work of a ribald female mind or that of a lecherous gay mind? Or simply the work of the narcissist male brain?

Crisis? What crisis?

Of course we have a crisis, people lose jobs, companies go bankrupt and all explained on the basis of greed, lack of regulation and wall street walking on clouds. Some people argue that the good times was just an illusion. Well, if the economic growth, wealth creation and the excess profits of the last few years were an illusion, shouldn't then an illusion's fall and demise also be an illusion? That's the only logical conclusion you can make if you accept the premise of the illusion.

So it wasn't an illusion and we have a real crisis which means we did have real growth and wealth creation. Is it simply changing hands now in which case the crisis is a process of wealth reallocation and ensuing disruption? Or is wealth actually destroyed at a level below the one that existed before excess growth building began?

Physical wealth in the US, Europe and Asia is not being destroyed. We are not experiencing a World War. With the exception of oil depleting and a climate changing, bridges, roads and buildings are still in place. So the major destruction is mainly happening to the intangibles. That's why prices fluctuate like crazy.

Isn't the creation of intangibles, however, infinite? If you look at history and also believe in human nature then you must accept its ability to create new intellectual words out of old ones.

I am optimistic. To those who argue previous wealth creation and economic growth was just borrowed time and an illusion, I rest my case.

Crisis? What crisis? It's just an illusion!

Toilet paper money

It's been suggested before only as a joke, now let me reiterate it as a half-joke. If printing money is the answer to massive debts and global deflation could we ask that central banks print money on toilet paper so that it's rendered useful if zimbabwe-style inflation sets in? If the quality of paper is smooth and rectum-friendly we won't need foreign exchange markets either. We can just barter, trade, swap, insure or invest in each country's toilet paper comparative advantage. And unlike forex markets, almost every single person in the world uses toilet paper. We're talking of a potential 7-billion-people-essentially-single-currency economy here. Keep it in mind please!

Protest virus or tear gas addiction?

Riots in Greece are still going on and violent student protests are fast spreading to France. Why? Could it be that tear gas is addictive? Painful at the start but pleasurable in the fast run required in protests? Is it time to pause social analysis on the issue and conduct chemicals research or should we wait until we see police using tear gas without their masks on? Or are the protests a live chemicals research experiment by the government? What?? Shouldn't I say that in public? :)

Condoms for pubic hair lice protection

The topic can be somewhat embarrassing. Did you know that pubic lice is a sexually transmitted disease? When pubic hair comes into contact during sex, lice (also called crabs) can jump to your partner. It's not as serious as other STDs of course.

Usual condoms don't cover men's genital hair so there is a potential market for pubic hair condoms for std-conscious people as well as everyone else who is into novelty. The easy way to apply the condom if pubic hair is long and frizzy is to wet the hair with water first, tie it together with a small hair band and then apply a small size latex condom on top.

To make sure the condom doesn't slip, I suggest a small rubber band comes with it to be used around the condom to clap the hair and the condom tight.

Then there can be all sort of variations. For example, pubic hair rasta style will have thick-specific latex condoms you can buy so you can skip wetting the hair. Since most men don't shave, I can see pubic-hair styling added as a new service in men's hair salons. What can start as a hygiene novelty could turn into a fad and create new services and markets in the process!

Do you believe God exists?

I'm an agnostic when it comes to my atheist beliefs which means I don't believe God exists because I'm skeptical that it's possible for me to believe otherwise. The good thing is that I can be an atheist without being an agnostic in general, just skeptical and noncommittal only when it comes to my ability to believe that God exists. Because I believe what I believe in a situation where say I'm stuck in Hell with someone who's visiting from Heaven, I can honestly tell them 'Go to Hell' and mean it. If I believed God existed, I could only say 'Go back to Heaven' but I wouldn't be honest with myself as my true feelings would be 'Stay in Hell'. That's the trap people in Hell will fall into if they believe it's possible for Heaven to exist but not me.
