Paris Hilton coup

Don't be fooled by the superficial interpretation from the gossip magazines and blogs, which all came to the conclusion that Paris Hilton confessed her non-smartness eventually.

In reality, the heiress engineered a perfect coup.

Facts:

  1. "Paris Hilton pulled me aside at a party. 'I'm being extorted by Darnell Riley for $20,000 a month and he's threatened to kill me if I don't pay,'"Francis quoted the hotel heiress during a cross-examination at Riley's preliminary hearing.
  2. The anemsia of Paris, covering by the now-famous "not so smart" comment, make the whole case very suspicious. It is almost certain that Paris was hiding some facts from the police. But why?
  3. In Dateline, it was said Riley also kept a tape of Paris (with a girl?)
  4. Outside court, Francis claimed Riley was bilking at least 10 other high-profile victims at the time, but said none would step forward due to the threat of physical harm.

Putting two and two together, it is not difficult to see what actually happened

  1. Riley extorted Paris for $20k a month
  2. Hilton overheard that Joe Francis was another victim
  3. She determined to use Joe to get rid of Riley, and revealed to Riley the name of Riley. She carelessly told Francis of her own reason of getting Riley (but later regretted)
  4. Realizing she could get rid of Riley without getting herself wet, or more likely, blackmailed or reached a deal with Riley's accomplice on similar terms, Paris decided to only reveal Riley.
  5. Hence the infamous "not so smart" quote, to protect herself, and the Riley accomplice

In other words, Paris successfully got rid of her extorter Riley by using Joe Francis' case, basically without getting herself involved at all. In her secret deal with the Riley gang, she was probably also able to get back her own tape by keeping some of the truth. The police officer, on the other hand, appreciated Paris' contribution in solving the case and was happy to let her off the hook. Who says she is not smart?

Bush goes to Hell and got a choice

George Bush has a heart attack and dies. He goes to Hell where the Devil is waiting for him.

"I don't know what to do," says the Devil. "You're on my list but I have no room for you. But you definitely have to stay here, so I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I've got three people here who weren't quite as bad as you. I'll let one of them go, but you have to take their place.
I'll even let YOU decide who leaves."

George thought that sounded pretty good so he agreed.

The devil opened the first room. In it was Richard Nixon and a large pool of water. He kept diving in and surfacing empty handed over and over and over, such was his fate in Hell.

"No!" George said. "I don't think so. I'm not a good swimmer and I don't think I could do that all day long."

The Devil led him to the next room. In it was Tony Blair with a sledgehammer and a room full of rocks. All he did was swing that hammer, time after time after time.

"No! I've got this problem with my shoulder. I would be in constant agony if all I could do was break rocks all day!" commented George.

The Devil opened a third door. In it, George saw Bill Clinton lying naked on the floor with his arms staked over his head and his legs staked in spread-eagle pose. Bent over him was Monica Lewinsky, doing what she does best.

Bush looked at this in disbelief for a while and finally said, "Yeah, I can handle this."

A whole class of new "intelligent" science



the New "Intelligent Falling' Theory :-)

I have always wondered why these bigot prevail in such a great country. If USA can become a great country despite these 'intelligent bigots', why are they bashing China's economic development despite not being democratic?

of course, "the onion" is only providing us some sense of humor.

pseudo-science bigotry: cow gases pollute air?

"Every year, the average dairy cow produces 19.3 pounds of gases, called volatile organic compounds, the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District said. Those gases react with other pollutants to form ground-level ozone, or smog......"This is not some arcane dispute about cow gases," said Brent Newell, an attorney for the Center on Race, Poverty & the Environment. "We are talking about a public health crisis. It's not funny to joke about cow burps and farts when one in six children in Fresno schools is carrying an inhaler."" according to a LA Times report.

I have to say, to compare cow gas with truck/car smog is stupid. And comparing "organic waste" is the wrong measure. Car/truck produces inorganic waste, which are a lot more detrimental. how much of these 19.3 pounds of organic gases "react" with smog? if it is only 1%, then it means 0.193 pounds are effective. OTOH, I can assure you all cow gases are fully biodegrable, otherwise you would have found fossils of these gases.

What about human gases? There are 13 Millions people in LA areas, should everyone put on a gas-maske on the rear?

What the f*#@ does this attorney know about science? Bigotry at its new height.

Twisted logic


In one episode of 'Cheers', Cliff is seated at the bar describing the 'Buffalo Theory' to his buddy Norm. I don't think I've ever heard the concept explained any better than this...
"Well you see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo and when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive drinking of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

What to do when you have left your key in your car

This may come in handy someday.

Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are home, call someone on your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the other person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other "remote" for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).

Apparently someone tried it and it worked.

blocked in China >()< !

So blogspot is blocked in China! (see here and here)
Now that google has established an office in China, can't they at least do something on it? e.g. split it into 2 sections, make all the censored content on another server/IP address?

I guess I just have to move my blogs somewhere else. :(

They also have a premium version, called earth.google.com, which will give you a 45 degree side view from a helicopter. You need to download a software and the free version resolution does not give good 45 degree view.

big mac index

Magazine The Economist (more recent articles)has been using the Bigmac index as an indicator for currency exchange. See here for a discussion on its relevance to RMB revaluation.

Below is an portion of the discussion copied from Economist.com. Due to copyright issues I should not copy the whole article.

"Burgernomics is based on the theory of purchasing-power parity, the notion that a dollar should buy the same amount in all countries. Thus in the long run, the exchange rate between two currencies should move towards the rate that equalises the prices of an identical basket of goods and services in each country. Our “basket” is a McDonald’s Big Mac, which is produced in about 120 countries. The Big Mac PPP is the exchange rate that would mean hamburgers cost the same in America as abroad. Comparing actual exchange rates with PPPs indicates whether a currency is under- or overvalued.

The first column of the table shows local-currency prices of a Big Mac; the second converts them into dollars. The average price of a Big Mac (including tax) in four American cities is $2.51. The cheapest burger among the countries in the table is once again in Malaysia ($1.19); at the other extreme the most expensive is $3.58 in Israel. This is another way of saying that the Malaysian ringgit is the most undervalued currency (by 53%), and the Israeli shekel the most overvalued (by 43%).



The third column calculates Big Mac PPPs. For instance, dividing the Japanese price by the American one gives a dollar PPP of ¥117. On April 25th the actual rate was ¥106, implying that the yen is 11% overvalued against the dollar.

Despite a single currency, the price of a Big Mac varies considerably within the euro area—from a bargain $2.09 in Spain to a beefy $3.12 in Finland. The average price (weighted by GDPs) in the 11 countries is euro2.56, or $2.37 at current exchange rates. The euro’s Big Mac PPP against the dollar is euro1 = $0.98, which suggests that the euro is 5% undervalued—considerably less than many market commentators claim.
