Physics, Math
At a bookstore I noticed a display of pretty bookmarks at the counter. One of them said, “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.”
Bonga, the nearest star is 93 million miles away.
Heard of the new controversy involving the game show Wowowee. Which thrives on this stuff—name another game show with a body count. Wowowee has one of those contests where people have to choose from among seven covered digits, and if the number 2 turns up in the correct decimal place, they win two million pesos. Turns out all the covered digits were zeroes—you can watch the incident on YouTube. This leads to a new round of sniping between Joey de Leon, host of Eat Bulaga, and Willie Revillame of Wowowee. De Leon’s recent pronouncement: “Ang yabang mo, Willie. Hindi lang ikaw ang mandaraya dito sa Pilipinas!” (Subtitle: You blowhard. You’re not the only cheat in the Philippines.)
It works on many levels, no?

Huh? So what if the stars are far away? No inertia in space so you can hurl whatever you please and couldn’t care less where it ends up. Oh, and you follow (and even mention here) noontime show news? Thats abit surprising.

hey maybe those writers should have written:”shoot for the stars; if you fail, at least you’ll land on the moon.” It’s more plausible scientifically and logically, yes? however, what is on the moon that makes it worth the trouble? wowowwee and eat bulaga i watch only because they have all these hot, semi-naked chicks that gyrate to music while i have lunch. at least i don’t need to go to girlie bars anymore, they’re right there on my tv, except i can’t take them to the v.i.p room. Well maybe willie r. can.

JZ wrote about joey and willie, but not about a certain lifestyle columnist with an alleged acerbic wit (or did i miss that?). Maybe she took pity on the jo malone-scented lady? Nah, that can’t be it.
