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!

My Alien Abduction Survival Story

The ETs now have me where they've wanted me...at my wits' end and on my knees, completely at their mercy. They have my attention alright, howbeit not undivided. My wife is dying in excruciating pain and it's all their doing. They'd implanted the alien pod that had been growing inside her and was now trying to claw its way out of her belly. Okay maybe it wasn't all their doing. If only I hadn't been so stupid to get us in such a compromising situation. The aliens should never have captured us in the first place. It should have been some poor unlucky slob in my place. I'm a trained soldier, my instincts have been honed to avoid scenarios like this. Funnily enough they'd treated us nicely. None of the lower gastrointestinal probing we hear about in those abduction stories. Just strange heavenly lights and strange heavenly sounds. It was like heaven for the relatively brief period we were there. We were grateful to have been spared. Not many make it back t

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

Those Darned Calories

I’ll second (or third) that too rapid weight loss is not healthy. Actually history has shown that too rapid anything, more than less, is never healthy. That said, it's good to watch your caloric intake...but it will not be as easy as not eating. A faster healthier way to loose weight is to eat smaller but more regular meals (of course while adding a healthy dose of exercise...or rather, a dose of healthy exercise). Whatever you do, avoid bouts of starvation. Starvation simply tells your body that there isn't enough food to go round (famine even). The body then responds by slowing down the metabolism, and by storing whatever 'little' you ingest as fat…you know, for the ‘rainy’ day ahead. You’re better off boosting your metabolism by eating tiny meals say every 3 hours. What I do (ok try to do) is eat tiny meals and supplement with granola bars (yes I’ve acquired the taste) later, or eat my meals in two meals…half now half later. Avoid or limit the white killer foods like
