I was wondering about a question. It started with an assignment on Persuasive computing. Naturally this search led to the Guru who started the topic: Dr. B.J. Fogg. Then on his blog, I saw that he got noted on Fortune as one of the modern Gurus you must know. That I agree, not that he's suave in person or I actually know him, but his stuff is indeed what we need to adapt to.

Then I drifted to thinking about what I would do if I was featured on Fortune. Print a T-shirt, even. And I thought "It's something money can't buy. Right Bill Gates?"
And Bill will probably respond "Sure is, I had to pay Fortune to stop printing my face, now shut up or I'll buy your town over."

Then my left brain, who is so bloody fond of arguing with my right brain and my sub-conscious, asked: "How much does Singapore cost?"

I tried googling, with one of the more disturbing searches "how much does it cost to buy a vietnamese wife? - www.hardwarezone ..." popping up, but no one has actually evaluated how much is Singapore worth.

And will the final price tag include buying over Temasek Holdings?

Kind of interesting to see which tycoon will say the phrase "...or I'll buy your country over." One best example is Asterix and the Laural Wreaths. If you haven't read it, slap yourself for killing your childhood and read it in the Library.
