i received this in a mail.....LOL!
In physics we know that: Power = work done / time
but we also know that:
1) Knowledge is power
2) Time is money
Hence we substitute the values in the equation, we get:
Knowledge = work done / money
and simple rearrangement of the equation yields:
Money = work done / knowledge
Hence we can see that money earned is inversely proportional to the person's knowledge, since we assume that work done is a constant.
In English, stupid people earn more money than their clever counterparts.
Note: i know u'll say "what if the person is brain-dead, then wouldnt he have 0 IQ and hence earn a lot of money?"
well, if we put knowledge = 0 , we will get an undefined value for money since we cannot divide a value by zero. Hence, the equation holds :)
Real-life example: Bill Gates, the world's richest man, owner of the software corporation, Microsoft, dropped out of high school....lol amazing isnt it????
