Cool

Here's a lil story I heard and I'm writing this down lest I forget:

Girl A and Girl B are good friends and both have graduated from university. Girl A graduated with an engineering degree and is running her own business while Girl B graduated with a PhD in law. One fine day, they met up for dinner to catch up with each other. They chatted about life, their directions in life and random stuff. Then they decided to play a game whereby they will ask each other questions and the party who couldn't anser would have to pay the other money. As Girl A's just a mediocre businesswoman, she'ld pay Girl B 5 bucks if she weren't able to answer her question while Girl B'ld pay 5000 bucks ('cause lawyer mah, then very knowledgeable). And so the game begins..

Girl B started the questioning first.

Girl B: What's the distance from the sun to the moon, divided by the speed of light?

Girl A thought hard for a while and replied, "I don't know". She then paid Girl B 5 bucks.

Then Girl A asked Girl B a question.

Girl A: What's this ugly looking green animal that has 3 legs on land, 2 legs in water and curls up like a ball when it's frightened?

Girl B was dumbstruck. She started searching for the answer, exhausting all her sources- calling all her friends, asking for their help to search the encloypedia and so on. After 3 hours, she gave up.

Girl B: I give up. Here's 5000 dollars, so what's the answer?

.

Girl A: I don't know.

And Girl A paid her 5 bucks for not being able to answer her question. Despite losing 10 bucks, she earned 5000 in return.

Woots.

Anyway, it's up to an individual interpretation of the significance of this story. To me, it tells me that we should not think too much, as the solution to a problem may be just that simple.

All right, time to retire for the day. I'm darn shagged; my brain's hurting badly.
