¢ o=o=o=o=o=¢¢ MORE GATES BASHING¢¢ It has always seemed to be a fact¢ that scientists and engineers will¢ never earn as much money as¢ businessmen. Now that has been shown¢ to be true in the following¢ mathematical proof:¢¢ Let us assume the following¢ statements to be true:¢¢ 1. Time is money.¢ 2. Knowledge is power.¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ Now, every engineer knows that:¢¢ work¢ power = ____¢¢ time¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ Substituting knowledge for power and¢ money for time, we get:¢¢ work¢ knowledge = _____¢ money¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ Solving for money, we get:¢¢ work¢ money = _________¢ knowledge¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ Thus, as knowledge approaches zero,¢ money approaches infinity, regardless¢ of how much work is done. Or, in¢ other words, the less you know, the¢ more you make.¢¢ It has been said that Bill Gates¢ dropped out of the Harvard¢ Mathematics Program when he¢ discovered this proof as an¢ undergraduate and has been engaged in¢ the pursuit of ignorance ever since.¢¢ o=o=o=o=o=¢¢¢
