Notes from the Outside of the Inside

DN gives us the headline to end all headlines:

Cow-dung used as fuel creates giant brown haze over India

Henry Farrell tells us that political scientists are less un-hot than most other academics:

Second, the above proviso aside, political scientists are pretty damn hot in comparative terms. We rank as number 5, trailing only languages, law, religion and criminal justice. From eyeballing the data, it looks as though there is a minor discontinuity right after political science, where the hotness lurches down a notch, and another, more significant one between psychology (at number 10) and finance (at number 11).

Inspired by this. Daniel Drezner also weighs in. I would assume that in terms of hotness, Salma Hayek would beat any PolSci professor easily, though.
