Ever wonder how companies come up with business plans?

In the beginning was the plan.
And then came the assumptions.
And the assumptions were without form.
And the plan was completely without substance.
And a darkness fell upon the faces of the Employees.
And they spoke amongst themselves, saying “It is a load of crap and it stinks.”
And the Employees went to their Supervisors, saying “It is a bucket of dung and no one can bear the odour.”
And the Supervisors went to their Managers, saying “It is a container of excrement and its smell is so strong that none can abide it.”
And the Managers went to their Divisional Directors, saying “It is a vessel of fertilizer and none can abide its strength.”
And the Directors went to their Executive Directors, saying “It aids plant growth and it is very strong.”
And the Executive Directors went to the President, saying “Our plan promotes growth and it is very powerful.”
And the President went to the Board of Directors, saying “This new plan will actively promote the growth of this organization.”
And the Board of Directors looked upon the plan and saw that it was good and the plan became policy.

I Found a Dragon in my Backyard

Although the Philippines Islands are geographically small in comparison with its neighbouring countries (China, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia etc), it is still pretty much unexplored.

Recently the University of Kansas found a previously undocumented (read new) species of monitor lizard in the forests of the Sierra Madre mountain ranges in Northern Luzon (near where I was born)… ok so it’s not my backyard but it is only several 100’s of km from where I was born.

I’ll call you “Stealth” because you’ve stayed hidden til now and you like to hide in trees. Luckily you only eat fruit.

Here’s the report on the Biology Letters journal.
