Putin Variant

The latest deadly Covid-19 mutant, suspected to be from Moscow or Crimea, is thought to be more infectious and transmissible than the Delta and the Omicron variants—the Russian “variant of concern” that some scientists in WHO had unofficially christened the “Pi variant” has apparently bypassed most of the protection offered by Sputnik V.
Unverified reports claim that dozens of dead and injured Russian soldiers in Ukraine were already infected with the Putin variant while on their way to invading their neighbor a second time.

Piastor

A pastor who likes to tease his geeky members to infer the biblical value of π from 1 Kings 7:23 or 2 Chronicles 4:2, and then to challenge them to explain why it differs from the mathematical value.
Guesstimate how many piastors or theologians worldwide could reasonably explain the discrepancy between the rational value of biblical pi and the irrational value of mathematical pi.

Editorial Ineptitude

Conceptual and linguistic blunders made by a senior editor or managing editor, as a result of her limited content knowledge of the manuscript and poor grasp of the English language.
Rose resorts to office politics and apple polishing to make up for her editorial ineptitude in occupying the managing director position—she's been promoted to her next level of incompetency, where editors hope she'll cause the least damage to the editorial team.

Jesus, the Multiplier

When you allow Jesus’ favor, wisdom, and power to grow your small or insignificant beginnings, just as He took a boy’s “five loaves and two fish” to multiplying them to feed five thousand-odd people.
Be it your career, business, or relationship, let Jesus, the multiplier, be part of the little you have, and witness His power in multiplying them beyond your dream or imagination.

Horrorscope 2018

1. Dictator Kim of North Korea will join his father and grandfather in hell.

2. President Trump won't get his Dread Wall of Mexico built.

3. President Putin will leave office rejected, ejected, and dejected.
Horrorscope 2018 for both dictators and murderers sounds good news for the world, with the defeat of ISIS and the death of some African dictators.

Cecaporeans

Naturalized Singaporeans who are often faulted or scapegoated for stealing jobs from locals, especially from retrenched middle-aged university and polytechnic graduates, who now have to work as cab drivers or Grab food delivery riders to make a living— Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA) has so far been a one-sided trade agreement whereby India has benefited a thousand times more than Singapore, with tens of thousands of Indian graduates from oft-dubious universities currently working in a hundred-odd industries in the island state.
What percents of Cecaporeans had successfully used their fake degrees to secure employment in the “fine” city of Singapore? How many of them were recruited thanks to cronyism and old boys’ networks?
