Almost....almost...

Today my economics tutor spewed words of wisdom again~ The topic today was on the game theory for economics. For those who don't know about it, go read a book. Anyway, one of the most important contributor to the game theory was John Nash. Those who watched "A Beautiful Mind" by Russell Crowe should know who Nash was. John Nash was a genius who came up with loads of theorem and ideas that form the modern day game theory, however, there was a slight catch. He had a screw loose some where up there.

Back to my econs lesson. My tutor was saying something about geniuses and idiots only have a very slim line separating them. That alot geniuses had some marbles missing, one way or another. She then went on to tell us of a story of one of her ex-students who was exceptionally talented in academics. That guy managed to score As for papers that his peers can only struggle to pass. (I strongly suspect he is not human) And his answers for the exams impressed the examiners so much that they actually went to him to advise him to go to UK for top education rather than staying on here, burying his talent.

His reply to them was," I would love to go, but who will take care of my......laundry?!?" Seriously, this guy has something loose in his head, instead of worrying about his laundry, he should worry about his favorite TV shows first, right? What a strange fella.

Anyway, this brings us back to the point that genius are almost idiots. From this logic, then I can safely say that I am almost a genius, I'm also almost very rich and finally, I'm almost very good looking~ Ahh... Almost there.

Hmmm... had to go www.dictionary.com to see what oxymoron means.. hahahaha. Anyway, for the benefit of sua kus like me,

Oxymoron: ox·y·mo·ron
n. pl. ox·y·mo·ra (-môr, -mr) or ox·y·mo·rons
A rhetorical figure in which incongruous or contradictory terms are combined, as in a deafening silence and a mournful optimist.

wah, the definition more cheem than the word?!? Almost lah.. hahaha
