PROFITABLE MATHEMATICS


MISSION TO MARS

NASA was interviewing professionals they were thinking of sending to Mars. The touchy part was that only one guy could go and it would be a one-way trip, the guy not ever returning to Earth.




The interviewer asked the first applicant, an engineer, how much he wanted to be paid for going. "One million dollars," the engineer answered. "And I want to donate it all to my alma mater – Rice University."


The next applicant was a doctor, and the interviewer asked him the same question. "Two millions dollars," the doctor said. "I want to give a million to my family and leave the other million for the advancement of medical research."






The last applicant was a lawyer. When asked how much money he wanted, he whispered in the interviewer' s ear, "Three million dollars." "Why so much more than the others?" the interviewer asked. The lawyer replied," You give me three million, I'll give you one million, I'll keep a million, and we'll send the engineer."








Sounds like "for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light." ...

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN POT & PATIO PLANTS?



While listening to the radio this morning, I happened on a reference to a firm in Kilkenny that introduces new plants to Ireland. I have had a look at their website and they seem to specialise in pot and patio plants. Some of you may be interested in this so I am passing on some links you can visit to find out more.
