Pivination

Also known as “Pi Divination.” When someone is always on the lookout for the first few digits of the transcendental number π to appear consecutively in a string of random digits, so that their appearance would give them the illusion or delusion that there is probably some hidden message among the digits for them to uncover.

For numerologists and recreational mathematicians, indulging in pivination is an activity that preoccupies their subconscious mind all the time.

V-Souls

Short for “Vaccinated Souls.” When unjabbed saved souls might temporarily be denied entry at Pearly Gates until they present their vaccination certificate, in which case they would be sent back to Earth to get their WHO-approved shot before they could enjoy the eternal privileges of their stress- and suffering-free status.

Guesstimate how many born-agains, not considered V-souls, would be turned away in 2021, who failed to take into account that few angels were trained to detect any asymptomatic corona cases.

Corona Tattoo

When ICU patients decide to have a tattoo to remember for the rest of their lives that they were given a second chance to live, when the odds of their recovering from Covid-19 were quasi-zero.

Jeff had a corona tattoo of the green angry-looking coronavirus on his arm, which is often depicted on health pamphlets to warn the public of the risks of not wearing a face mask and not practicing social distancing in public places.

Sham Shot

When syndicates or scammers set up bogus vaccination camps to charge both rich and poor unsuspected folks for injecting them with a saline solution instead of the locally approved coronavirus vaccine.

After feeling drowsy and having discomfort in her arm, Devi suspected that she might have been administered a sham shot.

Why Should I Wear a Mask?

The question anti-maskers worldwide have been asking themselves, because in their minds, Covid or not, they won’t die, as their Creator is the One who determines their number of days on earth, although corporate prayers from righteous men and women could prolong their stay a little bit longer.

“Why should I wear a mask?” and “Why should I be jabbed?” might outwardly appear to be selfish questions, but spiritually or philosophically speaking, they are nontrivial questions that politicians and religious leaders often try to shun away from.

COVID-19

A killer that has garnered undue attention vis-à-vis other global killers like HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB), diabetes, and cancers, as a large number of the middle-class and some wealthy families and celebrities in the developed world have disproportionately been affected.

Unlike other main causes of death that mostly affect the poor and the marginalized in the developing countries every year, COVID-19 appears to be a great leveler in indiscriminately choosing its victims—for example, it is blind to people’s race, religion, or social status.

Hypnotic Pi

When autistic folks and idiot savants claim that hours-long meditation on the seemingly random or sacred digits of the number π puts them in some kind of trance, which allows their mind’s eye to see sexy numerical patterns or relationships, or to visualize kaleidoscopic geometric shapes in higher dimensions.

Number theorists obsessed with the properties of π love to indulge themselves in hypnotic pi activities, hoping to experience a few aha! moments, which could help them secure early tenure thanks to some breakthrough results or elegant proofs on pi that grace the pages of reputable math journals.
