      You mean the information is not correct? Or if you mean that's a totally stupid idea, then absolutely yes. But hardly surprising, as it came from politicians.

        That just barely counters the high percentage of illiteracy there.

                    • HELL NO! I AM NOT STUDYING ECONOMICS!
                      Though sometimes, I wish I was... they have so much less classes, for some reason..

                      I am studying Chemistry. WTF is Software engineering? I only know Comp. Sci. and it sucks.

                        Shoot. We're light years ahead of Hong Kong.

                        We're middle of the pack on functional literacy--we're brought down somewhat by the high number of immigrants.

                        I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                          Ah, university of Vienna... they love doing all kinds of rankings, usually of limited quality, even for rankings...

                          But I have little doubt that Israel is doing quite well in science...

                            • Azazel, it's something fun you can do when you're at comp.sci.. . It's basically programming.
