If you really want to hurt your parents, and you don't have the nerve to be a homosexual, the least you can do is go into the arts. But do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites, standing for absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college.

Just finished Outliers...

It was chock full of "no shit, dude..."

Then I realized, Mr. Gladwell has derived an entire career from stating the obvious using borrowed philosophies and interesting anecdotes.

I can't tell if this makes him a genius, as he has used a very typical formula and still managed to be considered "quirky", or if this makes him just another academic yawn.

Please offer your riposte...
