Take a hollow toothbrush. Fill it with toothpaste. Then take a hollow shaving razor. Fill it with shaving foam. Now glue the toothbrush to the razor. For kicks, lets also glue a fork, a knife and a spoon to this appartus.

Now I claim you can brush your teeth, shave, eat your breakfast, butter your bread, drink your soup - all with this one appartus.

So then why do we have a separate toothbrush, razor, spooon, fork etc ? Is it because we want to ensure the employment of spoonmakers worldwide ?

Without CP, MBS, CDOs honestly there is no way you can run a modern industrial economy. You can glue them up into one savings account, but it would be as unwieldy as your toothbrush-cum-razor-cum-fork.

While there they also asked that he not teach his students about it, and said it was likely against university policy. An interesting read that goes to show even Universities are turning big brother."
