Extrapolation
Going to pick up the paper yesterday, I found a penny on the pavement and put it it our collecting-box at home. Today, 10p (two five-pence pieces). So tomorrow I expect to find a pound, and Thursday a £10 note.
After that, it'll have to be cheques.
I think I have discovered in Nature an economic model for our times.

Overentitled scribbler juggles smoking petard
Headline of an article by Max Hastings in today's Daily Mail: "How very different it might have been had someone spanked [Prince] Andrew's bottom when he was young."
Just wait until the age of the death of deference turns its attention to you, you po-faced toerag.
I have also submitted this as a comment to Mr Hastings' article; I am not hopeful that it will be allowed through by the flappers.

People are a problem
The traditional European education systems are brutally exclusive. Students (except children of the rich) are not allowed to progress unless they can perform at the necessary level.
This puts pressure on students.
The US education system (and the English one for the past 30 years) is inclusive. Very little expense or effort is spared to have every student reach their 'full potential'.
This puts pressure on the teachers and the rest of the system.
The US and English systems should be producing a better 'yield' of the STEM (Science, technology, engineering and mathematics) people that we need, yet they are not.
A possible reason is above.

Could the Dow hit 4,500?
Read my exclusive on Seeking Alpha. Some of the reactions are bordering on the hysterical. How quickly we forget recent events.
