The next number is?
Hinr: It’s the way you say it…

I Could Have Been a Trillionaire

Whatever that is.
Someone fell off their balcony and sued the council for the job they would have liked to have done – but had never done – but now could not because of the injuries they said they sustained.
WOW! I have never been a trillionaire, or even a lowly billionaire. It is so relaxing to know that if I am ever injured I will be able to sue someone for javing the chance of becoming a trillionaire denied to me. Presumably I will be able to sue them for a trillion pounds. Plus interest.;

What Will You Do With Your Student Loan?

Student in the UK get up to £3500 or so per term paid into their bank account each term. For many students this is the first time they have ever had so much money to call their own. There are big temptations.
I once rented a room to a first year student. Evey time he got his hands on that term’s student loan, he disappeared for a couple of weeks to go on a drugs, drink and sex binge, after which he had trouble paying his rent. He dropped out of University after a year and went home a failure, in debt.
I could have saved hum from failure. I could charged him rent upfront and have taken upon myself the burden of those drink and sex binges. I feel guilty now that I did not.

Too Good a Time at University

A lot of students get good A Levels/IB, go to a good University, then having been a top student up until then, imagine that the first few months will be spent bringing everyone to the same level of knowledge, or find themselves seduced by beer and sex and just HAVING A BLOODY GOOD TIME!
These people will fail their exams. If you fail your exams and fail your results you are OUT of University.
Typical is the student from Imperial who failed his first year, then rang me from some impossible to get to island in the Caribbean, offering to fly me out their and prepare him for resits.
I would have gone, charging £10000000000000000000000000 per day, but frankly I think I would have ended up teaching him maths on the beach, surrounded by empty beer bottles and he would have failed again.

Why is it Illegal to Deface Money?

Ever thought of defecating (to use the technical term) on your leaders?
Put some paper money on the floor and do it. It’s so much fun.
Stupidly many countries prosecute you for this. Don’t they realise that defaced money is a donation to the treasury? Once defaced, money can be printed to replace it.
FREE MONEY FOR THE GOVERNMENT!
Every government in the world should be campaigning for people to go out into the street and defecate on the image of their leader printed on money.
I do hope this takes off.

Origin of the Four Greek Elements

The BBC World Service is just full of wisdom.
Where did the Greeks get the idea that there were four elements – earth, air, fire, water?
These elements correspond to the way bodies were isdposed of.
Earth – bodies were buried
air – bodies were exposed and left to rot
fire – bodies were burnt
water – bodies were buried at sea
