Galapagos: five stars. Kidney stones: zero stars

Dammit Jeff. One is lowest number of stars. It's an arbitrary number. Anytime you see a review that starts "I wish I could give this zero stars..." you know you're dealing with a knucklehead.

If that were an actual Amazon review, he would base his entire review on the shipping experience instead of the actual product.
An arbitrary number that makes crap products look artificially good. "3.5? How bad could it be?"
