"Lake Wobegon, where all the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and all the children are above average" The best use of modern statistical concepts in a rebuttal (or in any paper, for that matter) I have seen in a long time! I totally support starting a collection of 'hilarious' reviewers' comments and rebuttals. Our resident KuK Hofkristallograf is probably correct in trying to establish first whether such Schmaeh is legal. If it is, let the flood gates burst!
