Given that the Whitless one has made noises in the past about either having
one or being an academic himself [nothing verifiable to back that one up,
either. There has been some humourous speculation abuot what sort of Ph.D.
ol' Whitless might have, but Bob only blathers about it. Some of us think
he's lying, but hey.]

If we are all astounded to learn that Bob has a Ph.D. degree from a real
university intead of being a custodian in one, I would think his existence
and ah....intellectual, rhetorical, and grammatic feats would argue against
a correlation between advanced degrees and high intelligence. In Bob's case,
the first is merely rumoured and the matter of higher intelligence seems
pretty opan-and-shut.
