Yes I noticed the correlation of maths and El Matador. And the large count of arms and legs. I guess spiders win on the numbers of arms and legs. But any excuse for a rant.

I agree with ElM that work is good but have long found that cognitive work is where the big bucks are. Physical work is more pleasurable in a holistic way but successful cognition is even more satisfying with sublimated need for physical challenge being done via golf, tree cutting, ocean swimming etc.

One Irwin Jacobs is worth about 10 million ElMatadors although Irwin's arms and legs did not do paid manual labour. His arm shook hands and drank coffee when I met him. His cognition was where the action was.

Actually, doing the numbers more precisely 1 IJ = 1 million ElM. Some manual work is needed to deliver food etc to the IJ types.
