The Equation by SamMilla1(op): 4:00pm On Dec 05, 2006
The Equation

Engineers and scientists will never make as much money as business executives. Now a rigorous mathematical proof has been developed that explains why this is true:

Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.

Postulate 2: Time is Money.

As every engineer knows,

Work = Power * Time

Since Knowledge = Power, and Time = Money, we have:

Work = Knowledge * Money

Solving for Money, we get:


Work
Money = ----------
Knowledge

Thus, as Knowledge decreases, Money increases, regardless of how much Work is done.

Conclusion: The Less you Know, the More you Make.

Note: It has been speculated that the reason why Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard's math program was because he stumbled upon this proof as an undergraduate, and dedicated the rest of his career to the pursuit of ignorance.

A friend of mine was a frequent user of a NEPA LIGHTS at YABA LAGOS, and was greatly inconvenienced when HIS went out of commission. Repeated requests for repair brought only promises. After several days, the LIGHT Company was again contacted and told that the light has been automatically restored. The light was now working fine—except that the officials have not come for their light bill since two months, a nepa worker arrived within ten minutes
