global rich list

this week's WHISC ("what's happening in south college" - the linguistics department's e-newsletter) reveals a couple of notable facts.

first, the umass graduate program in linguistics has maintained its #1 national ranking, according to the national research council.

second, i am in the top 12% of income earners, worldwide. in fact, i am the 662,781,372th richest person in the world. so i'm told, with great authority, by the global rich test. i'm gonna go myself some champagne to celebrate.
