In a place where most of one's peers are abnormal, anyone who's perfectly normal will by virtue of this fact be extremely unusual.

In the UniversityOfCambridge, for example, it's far more NormalToBeAbnormal.

: This is (from reports for a friend of mine) actually evidenced in ExperimentalPsychology? practicals where results based on a class of CambridgeStudents give such wackily odd results (say 3 widely separated peaks) that they have to give out sheets of "typical answers" for the bulk population (a normal bell curve). Cambridge is a very weird subset of the general population. --Jumlian

Different groups of people think of different groups of people as strange... for some reason there are a very large amount of 'groups' out there in Cambridge, leading to high level of strangeness. - ColinLeung
