    Auntie has this story[^] about an Indian chap and how his simple invention is changing menstrual health in his country. I was struck not by his humility, which he has in spade-loads, but by his outlook on life. In particular: He believes that big business is parasitic, like a mosquito, whereas he prefers the lighter touch, like that of a butterfly. "A butterfly can suck honey from the flower without damaging it," And: Luckily I'm not educated," he tells students. "If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future. I wish him all the success he deserves. :)

    If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

      You do realise that flowers do not have honey? Honey is the protein-enriched, enzyme-engineered, dehydrated insect vomit. (Sounds lovely, now spread it on your muffins) I think he meant nectar, which is merely a monosacchiraide fructose and glucose solution offered by the plant in a symbiotic gesture with this pollinator vector (in this case a Bee). Whilst I applaud his attitude, a little education on basic flora and fauna would be advantageous.

        This is a great story. I am active in a NGO that helps people all around the world, so I know a lot of such stories : there are a lot of great people on the planet.

            I think you may be proving his point for him. :)

            There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

              As long as he doesn't try to market them as Indian Pads or the shortened version of the name...

                If he delivers them by bike then it gives "menstrual cycle" a different meaning as well.

                  I don't think that would change what it is he's trying to accomplish.
