This one also a bit chilling:

A data scientist can tell most of someone’s life story given their zip code, and we try not to think too hard about why that’s always the most predictive feature in the model.

Elvis Presley is able to answer that one, and he's been dead for almost 50 years. Makes you understand why his fame is so lasting, unlike the teen heartthrobs of later decades.

Some credit should go to the person who actually wrote that song, Mac Davis.
