Sunday Burger Sunday December 2010 Edition

In my ongoing quest to reach Burger Xanadu, I am proud to present to you tonight's attempt at Burger Heaven! These burgers tasted as good as they looked! I used the usual ingredients: Onion, Tomato, Iceberg Lettuce, Bacon, Ground Meat and Hellmann's Mayonnaise. What actually set these burgers apart was the use of Louisiana Gold Horseradish Pepper Sauce and Gouda cheese. I used the latter in an attempt to add a good dose of absurdity to my recipe just because I will soon connect through Amsterdam on my way to Brazil. What better way to memorize a travel itinerary than with the composition of a hamburger? Encoded in the other ingredients are the date and time of travel, seat reservations and the answer to the question of life, the universe and everything.

Who needs a flash drive when they have a burger?

The TV Show The Event Absurdly Explained

I've been watching the TV show The Event and desperately trying to make sense of it. How could Dr. Kerry Weaver be in charge of a group aliens while the deceased US military pilot Alex Prince is now President of the USA? Moreover, how could, Dalia, President Hassan's widow, try and coerce Dr. Weaver's son into betraying her? How could deceased lawyer Ray Fiske be the American President special advisor? So many questions that desperately need to be addressed for me to understand the storyline! Please help!

Social Media Gurus Aren't Psychologists

Everyday, I read so-called Social Media Gurus expressing their thoughts and ideas about the psychological impacts of social media on people. Believe me, there is a lot of crap that has been said on this subject. How can these people think they have any kind of knowledge in Psychology? Most of them are Business School graduates. As far as I know, their training has nothing to do with Psychology or Sociology. So how can they make us believe that what they're thinking or saying is relevant? They are certainly good at developing a business and coming up with new ideas but when it comes to figuring out the profound psychological impacts of their inventions on people, they'd better let professionals deal with it.

Would you consider asking a psychologist or psychiatrist for financial advice? I guess not. So how can we ask entrepreneurs their take on psychology?

In the same line of thinking, many financial analysts talk about the psychological factors involved in the recent global financial crisis. I'm surprised that nobody has ever thought about asking a psychologist or psychiatrist about that. Once again, I wouldn't dare proclaim myself an expert in law or finance, so why would anyone think that they have any knowledge whatsoever in Psychology when they have never studied it?

Being rich or successful doesn't grant oneself instant total knowledge about everything. It, however, seems that most journalists think it is the case. Isn't it absurd?

The Most Absurd Quote Ever

"Life is like a box of chocolates. It is full of chocolates that look exactly like the ice-cream in the picture above, or not. Maybe."

How Come Nobody Ever Told Me The Earth Was Not Flat?

I am very upset as watching the You Tube clip featured above made me realized that the Earth might not be flat after all. This miniature documentary actually states that we are only a few to believe the Earth is flat. I am in shock. How come nobody ever told me the Earth was round? It seems like a major scientific fact eluded me for so many years. Now that I've discovered the realm of the "Stuff They Don't Want You To Know" podcasts, I'm just gonna watch them all and bring my knowledge of everything that surrounds me to new heights! Expect Power Posts in the next few days as I'll be taking advantage of my new found expertise to become even more insightful.
