Experiment at the MRTA Subway System

A few days ago, I happen to stumble into the MRTA subway without planning to. To be exact, around Fortune Town at the Rama 9 station, I was planning just to cross over to the other side of the street through the subway walkway. However due to my natural instincts, I happen to enter into the subway station instead of just crossing it.

Due to that reason, I had an experiment with the subway system. It seems that if you exit the same station as the one you entered, you will lose the same amount of money as going to the closest station.

The lesson learnt is that if you happen to enter the subway by mistake, its best to call a staff to assist you and hopefully you'll get your refund back.

Scott Adams is a Genius!

It sometimes strange to hear that life imitates art. The strange and uncanny fact is at times many things that Scott Adams' crazy comic strip Dilbert manages to do is to poke fun on what really has happened in the real world.

One of my favorite example is a strip in which the VP of the company declares that since the company was too centralized, they needed to decentralize to improve efficiency. After a year or two, the same VP comes back and informs that the company needs to centralize to synergize activity. To many people, they call that a management genius.

On a strange note, you could notice in Thailand, we have also seen that, within a 5 year period, they have expended the Science Ministry into many different Ministries and departments, but now are considering to merge them again. Management genius! - if you notice, there is a hint of sacarsm.

Regarding the topic of terrorism, why more that the following absurb column?

Scott Adams wrote:
Let me begin by saying there are lots of good reasons for conserving energy. It saves money, it’s good for the planet, and that’s good enough for me. I drive a small car.

But I keep hearing the argument that we can combat terrorism by using less energy. I can’t quite grasp how that chain of logic works. I suppose I can understand how there would be less terrorism if the entire world used no oil at all. Then the bad guys would have bigger problems to deal with, such as cannibalism. But how does reducing oil consumption by say 20% (a gigantic leap) in developed countries make a difference to the war on terror? Especially since China and other developing countries will quickly make up the difference.

If someone is fanatical enough to fund terrorism, do you think THAT’S the part of his budget he cuts first? What part of “living in caves in the mountains of Pakistan” is compatible with “we’ll only do this as long as the money comes easily”?

And how expensive is terrorism anyway? Their last attack could have been accomplished with Bonus Miles and a few box cutters. Is there somewhere a would-be terrorist on a tight budget who is thinking “As soon as I save enough money for a box of nails, I will complete my exploding belt”?

And to cap it off, what more than the next surreal piece?
