Does your ball roll at normal speed?

Flying in the face of recent efforts to redefine the scientist stereotype, described at cosmic variance, entropy bound and inkycircus*, comes the latest rebuttle from no less thanJose Mourinho, who manages to make his feelings known during an interview about Chelsea's pitch condition prior to their Champion's League fixture with Barcelona:

'Sometimes you see beautiful people with no brains. Sometimes you have ugly people who are intelligent, like scientists,' he said.

'Our pitch is a bit like that. From the top it's a disgrace but the ball rolls at normal speed.'

*By the way this is a great science news blog that I only just cottoned onto, which I heartily recommended to you all, if you haven't been there already.
