Or some of the smartest are also some of the dumbest...
A famous story in our graduate program has to do with a first year PhD student who was assigned a presentation over a reading for a sexuality studies class.
His presentation was all about "the shomolly" Indian tribe, and how they had all of these unique cultural practices, including peculiar ideas about gender.
The professor let him go for about 15 minutes before blurting out "you know that it's SHE-MALE, right?!?!?"
Man, I'd hate to be that guy.
