In some places rocket science is what simple-minded guys in the Street consider good math abilities, while skeptics who don't believe in stuff like statistical arbitrage look over the numbers and scornfully say this derivative stuff ain't rocket science, it's poker my friend. Been there, and the truth is it is all about liquidity and knowing how deep the pool is before you dive
In other countries of course rocket science is blind man's buff, or playing chicken with one hand tied to your steering wheel (Yes, that's you bozo, Kim Dong-Ill over there in Pyong young dong wung, you have to be the most retarded genius I have ever met). Crazy like a fox, but a bit low on cash now that the pachinko spigot has been shut.
Finally there is the land of the rising yen and this intrepid band from the Half-Fast Expeditionary Force which has proven beyonod reasonable doubt that ramen IS rocket-food. Just look at the results (with thanks to Cap'n Mike for leading the stalwarts into the lower stratosphere on Sunday) on the dizzying heights of Mt. Takao and into the oxygen-starved death zone of Mt. Jimba. The only question left: Why are these people smiling?
