For the former, I think it justifies his age-old argument that the smallest, seemingly unrelated things you do in the home can make a difference when you move on (hopefully) to bigger things in life. This is because the information he looks up may seem segmented from the finance work he does, but in actual fact it's these very pieces that make the front page (and the following pages) that help him attempt to predict future market trends.

For the latter, it's usually articles culled from the Business Times, because that's the only other segment other than the Classifieds that he knows I skip. Plus, they don't have those in camp, obviously.

Two weeks ago, he showed me an article which really made me think about the wires that run beneath machines, whose shells have become all too familiar.

Not bad, huh? I personally think it's a more plausible conspiracy theory.
