Another Trojan Horse theory...
"Ok, Mr Wadlow, that's the last one." patted his assistant upon the just-placed stack of boxes.
It barely crossed Nigel Wadlow's mind that this moment was the coming together of years and years of patience, that now fruited into his ultimate dream.
Within less than four months all of Mr Wadlow's hard work will have paid off. He defiantly started out at the bottom, filled with the determination of a young man. He went out of his way, after hours, to research ways and methods to better shape the business he was involved in.
He spent honest money, and even made noble sacrifices to go off and study futher. Wadlow did a variety of courses; from the strangely obscure to the suspiciously obsessive: Electromagnetism, particle & radiation physics, environmental & civil law, chemistry and cognitive & social phsychology.
Labled by a business journalist in the London Times in the summer of 1999, "One of the most excellent business minds of this century." Nigel Wadlow didn't show any particular interest in fame or glory. His name was rarely spotted on the social pages. Money wasn't even a big phaser either, Wadlow being such a resourceful person.
No. Something more alarming was to be revealed about this man.
After leaving his dad's printing business at the age of 22, for reasons never to be fully comprehended, Nigel Wadlow landed a job in manufacturing microwave ovens. In 1986, a quarter of the USA had microwave ovens in their house. As technology developed, prices fell and soon there were microwave ovens in nearly every home across the western world.
Like most manufactured items on a mass-scale (cars in particular) the microwave ovens were designed to last no longer than seven years. This way, there would always be people paying money for new microwave ovens.
Wadlow's dream was soon to be the nightmare of the world.
Having cleverly coordinated and designated a (then) new technology into his microwave ovens, he was finally ready for phase two. Phase one was years of constant calibrating to ensure that all the microwave ovens sold between then and now would seize up around the same time.
Thus initiating phase two: a large-scale buy-out of Mr Wadlow's microwave ovens, depending on the customer's choice of course.
Leaving us with the dystopic and unanswerable question...
Why would he place an undetectable explosive in each unit, all timed to detonate around Christmas 2009?
Such an intelligent leader on the brink of business utopia went the extra mile in the wrong direction.
Are our lives are the same, ladies and gentlemen?
