3.14

The name of a company incorporated in Singapore—which was registered on Pi Day by three math geeks, one green billionaire, and four family members-turned-financial angels—that aims at getting attention from those who are curious to know the nature of the business.

It’s pretty tempting even for laypersons with negative experiences, or quasi-zero interest, in school math to Google “3.14,” because they’re piqued up by the catchy name of the organization—could it be another shell company in the tax heaven that is involved in money laundering?

Piapple

An apple with π markings all over it, which is used as a cure for people who desire to overcome the fear of appearing foolish, as they conspicuously carry the defaced fruit around in public squares.

Guesstimate how many fearful folks worldwide would be bold enough to walk around with a piapple to train themselves to be thick-skinned.

Crypto Addiction

A high-tech term for hardcore gamblers or speculators who have made trading in digital currencies their god—some common symptoms are Trump-like lying, getting into massive debt, and insomnia.

Luxury rehabs are doing brisk business treating crypto addiction patients, by changing them exorbitantly—common treatments involve yoga, acupuncture, massage, and medication.

Day Zero

The day when you wake up and are 100% free from any bondages of a boss, because you are now getting paid without having to work—you have graduated from a tired-and-broke entrepreneur (who used to slave for sixty to eighty hours a week for yourself to avoid working forty hours a week for someone else) to a passivepreneur.

From Day Zero, you no longer need an alarm clock as you could sleep through until you feel like waking up to have your breakfast at any time of the day.

1 + 2 = 3

The solution to the equation a + b = c, where a, b, and c are consecutive integers; or where b = a + 1 and c = a + 2.

If 1 + 2 = 3 and 4 + 5 + 6 = 7 + 8 are the first two terms of a sequence of equations, what is the sum of the third equation in the pattern?

SFO

Short for “Sino Flying Object.” A quasi-symmetric (spherical, cylindrical, octagonal, …) object that has recently been spotted (or finally been detected) crossing near “US sensitive sites”—a few of them were shot down by a fighter jet because they allegedly or exaggeratedly posed a surveillance threat to the security of the country, or to the lives of the people.

The US had shot three SFOs or UFOs in three days following the take down of a Chinese spy balloon that floated their sky the previous weekend, but they themselves had hypocritically launched no fewer than a dozen of these slow-moving spy or surveillance objects over the Chinese or Russian airspace since last year.

Covid-19

A virus that has proved to be more effective than the brutal measures adopted by most dictatorial or rogue leaders in stopping pro-democracy and anti-government protests, slowing down terrorist attacks, reducing air and noise pollution, and exposing inept heads of state in handling a crisis.

Thanks to Covid-19, some previously thought extinct animals, birds, and fish have reappeared, bringing much joy and smile to so many people worldwide.
