MysticWicks endorsement: "I've always, always regarded the Discordians as being people who chose to be Discordians because they can't be arsed to actually do any work to develop a relationship with a specific deity, they were too wishy-washy to choose just one path, and they just want to be a mishmash of everything and not have to work at learning about rituals or traditions or any such thing as that."

It also does depend on what sort of average they mean.

Exactly half are going to be below the median.  roughly half are going to be below the mean unless there are some strong outliers.  The mode, if used broadly enough, is only going to fail outlying schools and it is possible  (although unlikely) that they meant those schools that fall below a generous mode.
You're a special case, Babylon.  You are offensive even when you don't post.

Merely by being alive, you make everyone just a little more miserable
