    By a strange coincidence, these figures are exactly the same for the
    proportion of brain surgeons working in the USA!

    It's just so unfair to the clever, who get no rest at all, than the less
    intelligent half of the population should sit around on their duffs
    drinking beer and cleaning out restrooms and other idleness when they could
    be doing their share of the brain surgery!
