  1. Banksy — tagging reality with preconceptions (bathing in drainage pipes? zebras in west africa? hunter-gathering in Mali?) — is something I thought you would object to on principle rather than merely on methodology.

  2. “I’ve been wanting to get an iPhone for some time, but still don’t have one. The reason, I now understand, is that I don’t have enough sex. I will have to talk to my wife about remedying this immediately.” — Steve Levitt

    “Ewww!” — America

  3. Actually, I think the full – less sensational – result was: “Iphone users on this online dating service have had more sexual partners than Andriod and Blackberry users.”
