Short for “Vaccinated Souls.” When unjabbed saved souls might temporarily be denied entry at Pearly Gates until they present their vaccination certificate, in which case they would be sent back to Earth to get their WHO-approved shot before they could enjoy the eternal privileges of their stress- and suffering-free status.
Guesstimate how many born-agains, not considered V-souls, would be turned away in 2021, who failed to take into account that few angels were trained to detect any asymptomatic corona cases.

Get the V-Soulsmug. A question mark that has been straightened out by God, if you put your faith in Him for things you don’t understand—when you are in the valley where life seems unfair, yet you wait upon His grace and goodness to turn things around.
Whenever you find yourself in those dark places (breakup, betrayal, death, debt, divorce, hurt, job loss, sickness, …), know that God can turn your question marks into exclamation points.

Get the Exclamation Pointmug. Brain-unfriendly math questions that leverage on the wealth of South African-born billionaire Elon Musk, whom mainland Chinese worship as “King of Mars” or “Rocket Man” for building flying cars and colonising the cosmos—they view Mr. Musk as a coldblooded god, compared to Jack Ma, whom they call a “performing monkey.”
Two Musk Math questions are:
a) Guesstimate how many face masks China could produce from billionaire Musk’s obscene wealth.
b) If Mr. Musk spent ten thousand dollars every day, would he have enough money left by the time he experienced his last heartbeat?

Get the Musk Mathmug. When God opens doors no one can shut and when He shuts doors no one can open—when people and circumstances appear to be preventing you from your dream, but God wouldn’t allow the doors to close if they were going to keep you from your destiny.
Closed doors look permanent—your health isn’t getting better; your financial situation isn’t improving; the chances of meeting someone look dim; you’re stuck in your job or not getting promoted—but God as your doorkeeper can just walk in and suddenly open them. Are you ready for these suddenlies, as He opens and closes the right doors to protect and propel you to your next level of growth or success?

Get the God as Your Doorkeepermug. When our primitive instinct makes us treat the comparison of large numbers as logarithmic rather than linear—for instance, we feel like the gap between a trillion and a billion is the same as that between a billion and a million, because both are a thousand times bigger, when the jump to a trillion is really much bigger.
When young children are asked which number is halfway between one and nine, their answers are three instead of five, as given by those with formal schooling. Is this a case of logarithmic instinct, where the middle is in relation to multiplication rather than addition: 1 × 3 = 3, 3 × 3 = 9?

Adult math questions that leverage on the activities that take place at karaoke lounges and nightclubs, which often illegally employ foreign-born hostesses to entertain both local and foreign male customers seeking some thrill they can’t get from their girlfriends and wives.
Can you solve this vice math problem? “The total number of Covid-19 cases linked to an infected KTV hostess so far is 128, who is traced to have had initial contact with two customers. Assuming that all infected patrons at the sleazy location each went on to share the virus with two other persons, what is the reproduction number R₀ for this cluster?”

Get the Vice Mathmug. A postmodern form of geometry that promotes flawed thinking, where the correctness of a proof is relative—for example, in a geometric figure, if an angle looks right, then it is unquestionably taken to be ninety degrees; or if a line segment appears straight, then there is no reason to doubt otherwise.
Trumpian Geometry seems to exhibit the pattern of assumption-intimidation-conclusion, where answers to geometric problems are countries-dependent—for example, the answers to most questions when solved in Russia, Saudi Arabia, and North Korea are the same, but are situationally different elsewhere.
