    True in large part, but I think it can be safely stated that the resulting entomology of an Amazonian jungle air crash is not totally dissimilar to the results of a number of NYC financial managers bearing largely similar characteristics. :cool:

    Well, I consider myself fairly intelligent and well read, yet I never heard of this dude. Also the Economics Nobel is not a real Nobel prize and he was only nominated.

    "In 2000, de Bono advised a UK Foreign Office committee that the Arab–Israeli conflict might be due, in part, to low levels of zinc found in people who eat unleavened bread (e.g. pitaflatbread). De Bono argued that low zinc levels leads to heightened aggression. He suggested shipping out jars of Marmite to compensate"
