The Hotel Fire- Alternative

This is about the famous "engineer-mathematician-physicist jokes"

Please see here to get the original story:

The Hotel Fire
An engineer, a mathematician, and a physicist are staying for the night in a hotel. Fortunately for this joke, a small fire breaks out in each room. The physicist awakes, sees the fire, makes some careful observations......,

I was thinking: if the fire was bigger ---When they saw it, it was about the size that is impossible to put out but only appear promising. What will they do?
Physicist still observe and calculate with the caliberation on the fire's time-progress, then he got the answer that it is impossible for him to get the necessary amount of flow rate to extinguish the fire, so he escapes.
Mathematician also "proved" that there is no "solution" and escaped.
Engineer thinks it promising in his usual intuitive fashion and tried to put it out but the fire never went out.......luckily, his knowledge about safety guided him to do all his effort on the solid ground of his own safety, so he escaped when the last possible exit is about to be closed by fire.

Conservation of Creativity

Last week, I said I dried out because of hard experiment schedule. This week I am experiencing an idea turbulence, a flood of ideas are storming in my mind!

Conclusion:
Ideas obey the law of conservation of creativity. Of course creativity doesn't stick to one person if that person is not oblidging to it.

Idiots -a vital social role!

I am very glad to find the show "Monty Python- village idiots" on YouTube so I don't have to make my own video for this post. In my opinion, this is one of the most sophisticated jokes in the Monty Python series.

TV program

An interview with a prestigious idiot in the community

"**(couldn't catch) is a idiot, a village idiot. Tonight we look at idiots in society."

The idiot:

"Idiot is a vital role to play in the modern rural society because this is the very real ** (couldn't catch it) for someone almost anyone can look down on and ridicule and this is the role that I and members of my family had fulfilled in the past 400 years."

"So you see that the idiot does provide a vital psycho-social service for this community."

"Oh excuse me, i see a coach party just arrived, i believe i shall have to fall off the wall, I am afraid."

The journalist:

"He also takes idioting seriously. He's up at 6 'o clock every morning, working on special training equipment designed to keep him silly."

".........."

-------------------

I really like this one very much.

I think there really are such similar roles in the society that individuals have to play, but they wouldn't gain as much prestige as in this Monty Python video. Also, nobody would care about. They may just discriminate people in those roles as always and never realize that it is their own stupidity and vanity that made them look down upon others. On the other hand, idiots could be of some therapeutic use for those unsatisfied people with no talents. Just like what they once have, a therapy for people to go and destroy glass wares.

I will go back to the topic of social role play now. I think this remind me of the role that the Japanese high school girls are playing. Whenever they need a not so intelligent stereotype in a conversation they will say "for example a high school girl ........"

I always wondered why so many young Japanese girls like cute silly things, why they like silly stories in "Shyojo Manga"( a kind of Manga intended for young girls, some are "daily exercises to keep them silly"), why they like to dress themselves in cute silly ways, why all the young girl artists have to start from making photo album with stupid silly posing in bikini to become famous? Now I have an answer, they, in their male-dominating society are supposed to be like that, be nice, beautiful, cute, sexy, innocent, mindless, stupid so that highly-pressured males can take them with not so much respect, with ridicule, and they can attribute large part of success of a female person to the sex appeal. This is all that they are requiring from females in the Japanese society. The girls are fulfilling their roles in the society. It could be a vital psycho- social role for the highly-pressured male-dominating society. I just wish that the girls are actually as sophisticated as the village idiots in the show.

I wish someone could say something to oppose me against the opinion above, on most of the Japanese girls.

It is nice to see some a little change in Japan. There are more women with career in the society (mostly doing minor works) and more girls in the universities now, so, even the most "masculine" departments like science and engineering had made up their minds to build "Lady's Room"s.
Notes:
1. Japanese girls are not all fulfilling the roles, but still there are still more than one should expact. It is not their fault after all.
2. There are a lot of smart and accomplished girls in my acquaintance in the university. but one cannot

expact much from outside of the campus. Hopefully, these girls' great performance will change the society in the future.
3. One has to be absolutely mean and ruthless when critisizing something.
