The Wisdom of Solomon

Wunmi: Hey! If you had to choose one, which would you pick…wisdom or innocence?
Bale: What? Did you just say wisdom or in-house sex?
Wunmi: No silly, I said Wisdom or Innocence.
Bale: Of course one needs both, but if I had to choose I'd chose innocence.
Wunmi: Any reasons?
Bale: Well, I thought of Solomon and all his wisdom...he didn't have the best of endings did he?
Wunmi: Hmm...Ok which would you choose...wisdom or in-house sex?
Bale: Bro that's easy...I choose wisdom...again look at Solomon...his wisdom brought him enooooough in-house…




On a more serious note, we have to respect Solomon's wisdom. The kind God said no one has ever had or ever will have.

Solomon started by getting God's attention.
I can image God going "Whoa! Gabriel did you see that? Outta my way! Outta my way!!..." and whoosh! He's in Solomon's room. "Impressive, boy! Ok What do you want? Just name it". He was ready to give Solomon whatever he wanted...a hundred trillion dollars, a stretch limo, a private island resort, the fairest maiden (or maidens) in the land, you dream it.
Solomon says "wisdom" and Gabriel, yawning, goes "ok a hundred trillion dollars coming right uuu...did he just say wisdom?
Solomon is like "well yeah...I mean I got enough bling and my ride gets me from A to B. Besides, I'm in charge around these parts so all I need or want is there for the asking or…heh heh…taking...all, except a good name.
God is impressed by this and grants him his wish and then some.

Way back when I was a school dorm prefect, two juniors came to me, fighting over a pair of slippers each claimed was his. So I tell them I'm going to destroy the slippers eh?.
One of them says "yeah go ahead...destroy them"...while the other says I should give the pair to the other guy. Feeling grateful to Solomon, I hand over the slippers to the one who said to give it to the other guy.
I got to see them some moments later; the one who said to destroy the slippers was really bitter and animated. He'd preferred to see the slippers destroyed than in the hands of the 'enemy'. Then it hit me. The other guy had nothing to loose...they weren't his slippers in the first place! Solomon's wisdom did not apply the same way because this time it wasn't a baby involved!
Even if by some freak chance...the biological mother of the baby was the prostitute that said to cut the baby in half...she forfeits her rights to the child there and then!

Solomon was one wiiiise hombre...and it seems all that wisdom is there for the asking!

Suggested Improvement to Facebook "Like"

Image
Seriously, Facebook should stop abusing the word "Like". We've made our peace with their abuse of the word "Friend" but the "Like" thingy may be doing them some harm. Think about it. Imagine I find a page I want to participate in not because I like the page ("like" in the literal sense not the perverted Facebook sense) but because I want to provide an alternate viewpoint. The establishment could have the exact opposite of my values, or sell products I'm not happy with, and the best way to keep tabs on them, or offer my complaint would be to "Like" the page. Problem is I don't want to be caught dead 'liking' a page I don't...well...like. I know companies would probably want to limit the voice of the complaining customer, but some (the smart ones) will want to hear such customers so they can improve or at least know what their enemies are saying. This loss in important feedback and community activity might cost

Super hero meets his match! Part 2

Image
We now, once again, follow the exploits of our hero, the Super Duper Diaper Buster Extraordinaire. He is fully recovered and rested after his bloody battle with that wily one…the Sneaky-Leaky Squirty Diaper. It appears that gory encounter was only a preparation for graver things to come! Enter, the evil of evils, one so great our hero had to partner with his former nemeses, one that leaves a bitter lasting smell in the memories of those who dare cross its path…THE PERPETUAL DOO!!! Greater than before was the carnage. First to be felled were the diapers. They fell with greater ease than when against our hero, the Super Duper Diaper Buster…don’t forget Extraordinaire! Even the Sneaky-Leaky’s wiles were no match. He was however able to distract the common enemy for a split second…long enough for our hero to sacrificially use all-might-mustered force! As usual, after the fact, just like in the movies, we hear the sirens of the Special Operations for Abstergence and Purification, and the w
