WAT? Preese explain! and whats with all the flowery stuff master chief?

Think nothing of it, dear Frookster. Just that if you were a pageboy, then our titanic ROFLBATTLE would swing in my direction. Hee hee.

And considering my notorious Halo-status in this forum, I've decided to insinuate myself with the common man. Damnit, now I sound like a Communist.

I hereby join the spitting-on-science group. Who does this guy think he's convincing?

Didn't know you were a historian! Quick quiz: who won the Battle of Hastings?

The Smurfs. However, due to Gargamel's influence, Fraggle Rock has invaded in mass numbers.

"Who won the battle of Hastings?" Lol. That was the Spanish of course!

I've listened to artists who after listening to I thought to myself "Wow... loving this rubbish says a lot about someone and how much they got going on in their head." Could one's musical tastes say something about intelligence? How about SAT scores? Well, like any good scientist, I decided to see how well my personal experience matches reality. How might one do this?

Well, here's one idea.

• Get a friend of yours to download, using Facebook, the ten most frequent "favorite music" at every college via that college's Network Statistics page on Facebook (manually -- as not to violate Facebook's ToS). These ten "favorite musics" are perhaps indicative of the overall intellectual milieu of that college.
  
• Download the average SAT/ACT score (from CollegeBoard) for students attending every college.
  
• Presto! We have a correlation between musical tastes and dumbitude (smartitude too)!
  Music <=> Colleges <=> Average SAT Scores
  
  
• Plot the average SAT of each "favorite music", discarding those with too few samples to have a reliable average.
  
• Post the results on your website, pondering what the Internet will think of it.

Like any good scientist, I had to check out his methodology. I spit on his science.

I'm a historian, and this is patently insulting.
So I'm going to join you and spit, and I'm sick right now so the stuff he's going to get will be bad.

Like a bad scientist (social science) I spit on your sense of humour.

worst mental image ever

Wait since when were SAT's indicative of intelligence?

By the way the graph doesn't even have a scale; if those are average SAT scores out of 2400...they're ALL bad.

[cauthon]

Even I know who won that battle.

Bleep. Not my fault. My visual software sometimes interprets scientist as historian. Can't help it.

My thanks to Darkwatch for upholding my honour. Have e-cookies. In fact, you can all have e-cookies.

by that factor, where would deaf people rate?

By whatever music they listen to. And yes, deaf people listen to plenty of music.

Of course I'm serious!

In 1492 Vespucci sailed the Ocean blue.
The Chinese invented Thailand.
The Americans and Germans defeated France and Italy in the First World War.

/sigh.

Apparently high school musical tastes have some bearing on your 'intelligence', when intelligence is a poorly correlated graph for your terrible SAT scores?

This is just... crappy.
