This one from Daniel
Hamermesh at Freakonomics made me laugh out loud:
I watched the film The
Curious Case of Benjamin Button last night. It got me wondering what would
happen to various economic outcomes if, like Brad Pitt’s character, henceforth
half of all men, but no women, were born and lived their lives backward from
old age to infancy.
As a proud Johns Hopkins alumnus, I join in the chorus of disapproval over this rank abuse of our beloved Homewood campus. Hullaballoo!!!
I didnt realize you were an alum, Eric! Well, maybe all this will be good publicity for the campus? All new is good news and that type of thing . . .
