Pime Travel

When you visualize yourself indulging in a time travel experiment meeting the infinite digits of the transcendental number π, hoping to be struck with some aha! moments, or to experience a flash of insights, along the numerological journey.
Would someone embarking on a pime travel mission be able to see the color or shape of the number pi, or to smell or taste it?

Pi Striptease

When the irrational and transcendental number π occasionally reveals herself to excite the mathematical brethren of her numerical or geometric hidden properties, be it through some new beautiful pattern or little juicy theorem.
Both number theorists and numerologists get pretty aroused when they get invited to attend a pi striptease event (by invitation only), whose aha! moments could get them mathematically excited for days.

Immoral Vaccination

When high-income countries with high vaccination rates would almost have to beg or coax their citizens to get their third booster shots rather than giving or selling their surplus or hoarded vaccines to developing nations, where the people long to get jabbed.
Nations guilty of immoral vaccination only agree to donate their near-expiry vaccines to desperate pro-Western developing countries, or decide to practice “dose sharing” with another developed country that has a low vaccination rate and a low supply of Western vaccines.

Trump Joke

Any fake story on the Pinocchio-in-Chief, whose manifold lies make him the political clown of choice among comedians and humorists worldwide.
One Trump joke goes as follows:
Don goes to prison and the first night he’s trying to get some sleep when he hears an inmate yell out, ‘19!’ followed by a chuckle from his cellmate. He didn’t pay attention to it, but then there was a yell of ‘47!’ and another chuckle.

What the heck is going on?’ he asks his cellmate.
‘Well, we’ve heard every presidential lie in here so often, so we’ve numbered them to save time.’
‘Oh,’ he says, ‘can I give it a try?’
‘Sure, no problem.’
So, Don yells out ‘11,780!’ and there is commotion. Wild laughter sweeps from cell to cell. Eventually the laughter subsided, and Don turns to his cellmate who is wiping his tears of joy. ‘That was a good one, dude?’
‘Yeah! We’ve never heard that lie before!’

Vaccine X

The label for the unnamed and unapproved half-baked coronavirus vaccine by Indian firm Biological E, which has shown “promising results” in the first two phases, and which will be available for use in the next few months, with or without WHO’s approval.
The BJP government has so much faith in Vaccine X that it has made a $206m order for 300 million doses, compared to 350 million doses from both Covishield and Covaxin, the two WHO-unapproved vaccines currently in use.

MAGA MATH

Short for “Make America Greater Again, Make Americans Think Harder.” A 2024 slogan to Trumpublicans to make America numerate or quantitatively literate again, by not having Asian immigrants or naturalized Americans but white natives as mathletes to represent the USA at international olympiads.
Chanting his MAGA MATH mantra at rallies, Donald J. Trump promises his blue-collar supporters that only true-blue white Americans would be allowed to be part of the US math teams at all regional and international contests and competitions, and not alien mathletes or math imports.

Nepal Variant

A yet to be confirmed “Indian Variant 2.0” or “Delta 2.0,” which would not only be more resistant to Covid-19 vaccines, but also more transmissible (or even more lethal) than variants currently circulating the planet.
If the Nepal variant were confirmed, guesstimate how many hikers worldwide who had already planned to climb Mount Everest this year would be forced to cancel their dream trip.
