Who's smart?
The Canadian website Small Dead Animals posts news of a Harvard professor, who conned friends, colleagues, and internet acquaintances out of $600,000, only to lose the entire amount to a fraudulent internet offer promising a huge return on his investment of the swag.
It asks the key question:what does that tell us about Harvard professors?
Okay, not all of them (us). But it does prove that academic excellence in one field does not translate into universal intelligence, much less wisdon.
