If you look at headlines populating all the major news organizations past few days there were three major events that stole all real estate. These headlines but headline one indisputable fact - the world has gone nuts. Loco. Kaput. Bonkers. I suspect its not a recent occurrence yet amplifies the message yet again to those listening. Newsworthy items included -
1. Greece is going to freak out - they cannot handle the stress - they have no money.
2. Spain is next - then France - they also have no money - they are all waiting to fall. Elections not withstanding (which means to fall). Damn no one saw this fall coming after the Berlin wall.
3. Facebook is likely to raise 100B dollares from the same idiots who see these countries failing due to lack of money.
Ever wonder where the money went? To gab on facebook? To put ads on facebook? I mean if a company designed to woo the opposite sex for date night is able to raise $100B market cap then can the combined economies of Greece, Spain and France not do so?
Are the Mighty Greeks, the Romantic Spaniards and the Artistic French no good after all?
Would the EU collapse ruin the after party for FB? Could we be looking at a European Fall after the Arab Spring? Now that would be ironic?
Here is another essay on the subject of first names. As in birth names. Or names provided to an offspring at birth. While the developed world tends to shy away from the exotic like Refrigerator or Coca Cola for their new production there is a plethora of Jims and Johns and Bobs or Robs. Speaking of which I do not think there is a categoric decision point at the time of birth if a child will be hereafter called as Bob. I mean have not yet met a toddler called Bob or Rob for that matter. At some point though the parental instinct to mouth out multiple syllables runs out and they switch from calling the crawler Robert to simply Robbie to Rob. Now speaking of - it is strange that the name sounds like something you would not want Rob to do - i.e. Rob anyone. Then why call someone that? After all Rob Peter to Pay Paul is not exactly a maxim to live a young life? Is it? Perhaps Peter or Paul might want to have a say in it? Then there is this matter of going to the John. Why degrad...
Karl Marx may be laughing out loud. Lol.
