Can Fame Be Measured Quantitatively?

We propose... ...the standard unit of fame be called the Lewinsky (Lw), where 1 Lewinsky is the number of web pages that mention Monica Lewinsky. In this system, Earle Spamer has a fame of 840 microLewinskys, while Jesus Christ has a fame of 7.6 Lewinskys.

Actually, my point about reliance on technological solutions is reinforced with the first picture in that article, with the caption:

"An x-ray scan of a bra reveals major structural elements, including straps, fasteners, and underwires."

I think we could pick those elements just by looking at it?

Yes but would you feel like you'd really, really studied it?

I thought this too. Overkill!
