when i arrived at a chicago airport recently, there was a poster thingie saying

"home to 90 nobel prize winners..."

i thought holy shit that's a lot O_O i remember China only having a handful. we have here in just one shitty city an order of magnitude more. factor in per capita and it's really a huge difference
