Cranks attack Parade Magazine! Which side are you
rooting for?
I hate Parade magazine. Hell, who doesn't?
But you know who's even more annoying? That Marilyn
vos Savant. If, by some fluke, I received the highest score ever
recorded for an IQ test, I think I could apply my intelligence
more productively than writing a column for Parade
magazine.
And so does Herb Weiner...
The "Marilyn is Wrong!" site compiles errors detected
in the Parade columnist's works. The old brain-teaser about
natives? Marilyn is wrong! The probability of male children?
Marilyn is wrong! Fermat's last theorem? Excluding Andrew Wiles
non-Euclidean geometry was wrong!
Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!
On and on go the rollicking corrections.
"Marilyn can't explain why it's dark at night!"
"Marilyn is mistaken about clouds!"
Weiner even offers a collection of Marilyn vos Savant-related links!
Monty
Hall vs. Marilyn vos Savant. Marilyn vos Savant on the "Bad
Science"
page. Who does she think she is....?!
Weiner's site has gained attention from numerous web figures,
including
USA Today's site-picker, Scott "Dilbert" Adams -- and Marilyn vos
Savant's attorneys.
And what does Marilyn vos Savant herself think of the web site?
According to Weiner, "Rich Morin, of the Washington Post, reports
that
Marilyn considers this web site 'a little creepy."
Pile-on!
