| | |  J.K.Rowling a "living genius"
Creators Cynectics have included J.K.Rowling in a "Living Geniuses" list. Jo is ranked at #83 out of 100. Quote:
Creators Synectics, a global consultants firm, chose their geniuses by awarding scores out of 10 to each entrant against a number of factors: paradigm shifting; popular acclaim; intellectual power; achievement and cultural importance. The firm emailed 4,000 Britons this summer and asked them to nominate up to 10 living people who they considered geniuses.
They received back 1,100 nominations for individuals in all walks of life, more than 60 per cent of whom were either American or English. Only 60 per cent were still alive.
The panel was then charged with ranking the list in order of genius and to present a resulting shortlist of 100, who were then scored against the five factors.

That seems a bit biased... Margaret Atwood is 49th...
And I don't know who the other canadian is.
I definitely disagree with the Matt Groening placement.
And after all that, congrats JK Rowling!

Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.

I'm not entirely sure that I'd consider her a genius, though I do think her work is excellent. The problem with anything involving nominations is that it's more about popularity and renown. A top genius who is never known wouldn't make the list, after all. Still a nice accomplishment, however.

Thats actually really cool!
She must be so proud... to be on that list you have to be extraordinary.
Matt Groening is 4th! Thats also pretty awesome. he definately deserves that...
and the Dalai Lama is 26th! Thats good. 
and Jane Goodall is 58th!
I think instead of being a Genius List, it should be renames as a list of people who have accomplished fantastic things, rather than their brainpower. Does that make sense?
