A very interesting subject.
Well, it's interesting to me; perhaps not to you asshats.
I've been googling all morning trying to find out who the most "educated" person in the world is. I started with the most earned Ph.D.'s, but that didn't reveal a single person. The guy from NASA was put forward on several blogs, but he only has 5 Master's and a Ph.D. Mugabee (spelling?) was discussed, but most of his degrees are honorary.
Google Brigade, who is the most educated person on the planet?

You are not counting street smarts?

No, it's impossible to measure. Just like who the "smartest" person would be. I demand an objective standard. |

I bet, home schooling doesn't cut it either.

KALAMAZOO -- You might say Michael Nicholson has a passion for learning.
The 67-year-old Kalamazoo retiree has amassed 27 college degrees since 1963, and he's not done yet.
He started with a bachelor's degree in religious education at William Tyndale College in Detroit. That led to a master's degree in theology at Dallas Theological Seminary.
Since then, he has earned two associate's degrees, 19 master's degrees, three specialist's degrees and one doctoral degree.
He's currently pursuing two master's degrees at Grand Valley State University, one in health administration and the other in special-education administration.

There are no streets in Colorado. I think you have more mountain smarts. Like Jeremiah Johnson. |

I am surrounded by miles of pavement and a million people.
That alone kicks me out of the smartest fucker competition. |

Hawkings is a pretty smart fella, but he doesn't have many degrees. He does know about the universe and stuff though.

what he "knows" tends to be unknowable and useless for MOST
thats why B Gates is right up there, and S Jobs as well |

If I ever retire, I'd like to move to a college town and be a student. There are lots of things I'd like to learn about because, despite my brilliant posts here, I'm not really all that smart.
