Wagner's MBA Law of Overhead Bin Storage in Airplanes

Wagner's MBA Law of Overhead Bin Storage in Airplanes: Given normal gravity, your carryon bag will often fit if you turn it upside down, with the rigid side up (i.e., wheels up) and the soft side down. Gravity compresses the bag. Plus there is often a dip in the bin that is not otherwise filled. Gravity will make it fit; this seems perfectly obvious, but passengers and flight attendants often seem grateful when I share the information.

Wagner's MBA Law of Astronaut Selection for Interstellar Travel and Colonization

Wagner's MBA Law of Astronaut Selection for Interstellar Travel and Colonization: ATTENTION: LADIES WANTED FOR CAREERS IN SPACE... Interstellar Travel will be the domain of young children and females of child bearing age, not men with larger body masses and limited reproductive utility. SORRY GUYS! Ladies will rule the interstellar distances! Consider the problem to be solved in the recent movie Interstellar: Perpetuation of the Human Species... and consider that it currently costs about $10,000 to put 1lb. into orbit and that a typical female weighs 75%, or less, and children far less, of a typical adult male. Adult males require more Food Kcals, H2O, and Oxygen on a long voyage and any advantage of strength and desire to watch televised sports would be unnecessary... wink emoticon Why burn all the propellant to accelerate larger men and all their supplies to approach the speed of light? In the Interstellar movie, why did the guys saving the Earth want to send 12 probes of mostly men into the black hole to check out the 12 potential planets? Instead, they should have sent 12 teams of 3 females each (with frozen sperm and eggs) and... PROBLEM SOLVED... Human Species Perpetuated...! You're welcome, Earth!

Wagner's MBA Law of Narcissism in For-Profit Higher Education

Wagner's MBA Law of Narcissism in For-Profit Higher Education: For-profit higher education must be operated at a profit, but do we really need all these soul-less vampires who know nothing about teaching and research? In the past, the not-for-profit university was a haven for narcissists, but, now, do we really want "dumb narcissists" at the university, too? Smart narcissists, at least, are smart, and smartness is a useful byproduct. However, dumb narcissists miss the whole point of higher education and narcissism; dumbness is readily available on a random street corner. Can't dumb narcissists just stay in politics? Give me a break!
