OK, did you actually COUNT the number of authors who are deceased? If so, would you like to help me with my end-of-semester grading? :) And what would Michael say on your answering machine--"send me something?"

Did you notice that 23 of the authors are dead? But I love the idea of Michael S. on my home answering machine! (I listen to Wait Wait Don't Tell Me on the elliptical every week.) So... since APA is in Toronto next year, any chance you'll have dinner with us, Stephen?

My only complaint is that your tinyurl takes me to the ScienceDirect login page, and reading it there isn't possible without coughing up $$$. Try this instead: http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/hep-ex/pdf/0509/0509008v3.pdf and then skip to p. 227 and keep going to p. 245. Count 'em and be amazed. Interested parties might also try: King, C. (2007). Multiauthor papers redux: a new peek at new peaks. _Science Watch_, Nov-Dec. Available on-line (no $$$ needed) at: http://scientific.thomsonreuters.com/m/pdfs/klnl/8428096/swmultiauthor.pdf and the letter-to-the-editor which inspired this post: Sekercioglu, C. (2008). Quantifying coauthor contributions. _Science_ 322, p. 371. So we have a winner. As prize I was going to suggest a week in Toronto, with second place getting two weeks in Toronto, but this was not a popular choice. So I suggest instead Michael Sylvester on your home answering machine. Please contact him for further information. Stephen ----------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen L.
