Fun:Degarmo coefficient

The Degarmo coefficient is a measure of stupidity. It is inspired by Raymond Chandler's novel The Lady in the Lake, where Philip Marlowe delivers one of the greatest put-downs of all time to Detective Lieutenant Degarmo:

"You are a stupid man, Degarmo. Everything you do is stupid, and done in a stupid way."

- Philip Marlowe to Lieutenant Degarmo, a man not noted for his sagacity

A Degarmo coefficient of 1 indicates total abject stupidity. Examples of a unity Degarmo coefficient include Deepak Chopra and Dullman.
