Et tu, Nate?


Nate? How could you do this? How could you say this about us? You were one of us.

Here's what Nate Silver said about the University of Chicago - heck, about us - in a recent posting on his blog:

Having attended the University of Chicago, where there are plenty of booksmart people that you wouldn't consider particularly bright, I can tell you that the correlation between intelligence and educational attainment is considerably less than one-to-one.

Huh? Not bright? Obviously Nate hasn't spent much time on campus lately. The folks here are so bright I have to wear shades. I mean, this past weekend a U of Cer created a hydraulic device that can shoot hot dogs into a crowd! No wonder we have so many Nobel prizes.

Nate take your dagger and go home. We are impervious to your attacks.
