[megaman]

omg, no, the only person i believed in, and now you compare to him :cry: :cry: :cry:

what?


me?


what?


Because I don't smoke and/or smoking caused the Apocalypse? what you talkin' 'bout, Willis?

[LionRampant]

Well, I hope he's happy. :x

[DrGreen]

I luv it.
:lol: 8O

[Chairman_Kaga]

Smoke kills? But wasn't him "not smoking" that started it all???

[Vygramul]

Amusing.

And, Sauer, I think Megaman is referring to your avatar. Only Einstein was slightly autistic, and you do not appear to be.

[Iron Sauron]

that was great.

I thought it might be the avatar, but with Megaman, you just never know where he's going with his posts. Left field sometimes. As in this case.

I, however, don't really believe Einstein to be autistic, or having the milder form of it, called Asperger Syndrome or whatever. I am not like him, though, no. I don't know what it's like to suffer from the torments of genius.


And of course, nobody commented on my adding SK-like facial hair to the Ein Man.

Sur Gut!!!

[Wrigs]

nice :lol:

[Canadian Hick]

Great, but it would have been better if they played the same song that was at the end of Fight Club with the building collapsing.

On an unrelated note, damn you Monty. I'm on my 4th Palahniuk book, Choke. Sooner or later there's gonna be none left to satisfy my addiction. :D :very mad: :P :)

EDIT: he kinda looks like the pervert guy from the old Lost in Space show, only that guy didnt have the facial hair... but i dont think thats who i was thinking of

[Chalybos]

Oh, that was toooooo funny!

I don't remember the exact numbers, but there are something along the lines of 150 symptoms of autism, and Einstein had a significant epsilon from the normal. That doesn't a diagnosis make, but it can't be discounted. Then again, genius and autism might very well be related, with autism being a malfunction of genius.

Well put. <=== not intended as an insult, though I can see how it could be.

it's not an insult. Not in the slightest. I may be smart, but I'm no Einstein or Newton. There are varying degrees of genius though. On one hand you've got the likes of Mozart, Rasputin, Freud, Van Gogh, Galileo and Bobby Fisher...complete nutters tormented by their own inability to communicate meaningfully with other people. Too smart for normal conversation with "normal" people. Driven mad by their constant meandering and mind errantry. Wheels in motion all the time and probably in their sleep. But on the other hand, you've got geniuses like Descartes, Darwin, Copernicus, Elliot, Curie and Edison. These people were in complete control of their faculties and weren't "suffering" by any means internally. Yet their genius drove them to extremes. Curie was so intended on finding what she was looking for, that when she did, it killed her.

The median also exists. Leonardo da Vinci represented the median, between the nutjobs and the completely sane. He wrote Italian and Latin backwards, yet was surrounded by good friends all his life and enjoyed the finest parties (showing that he was in fact a great communicator and social extrovert).

I have no idea why I typed all that, as that's all common sense and i'm rambling on and on and on...

I just like to tell people that an IQ test isn't representative of a person's intelligence. People confuse me for being "smart" because I score high on IQ tests...but those tests are biased, like any standardized test, and someone who might not have as much experience in one subject, might feel less confident and lower his or her score, though they might not restrict themselves in other subjects. It's purely subjective, which is why MENSA doesn't include it in their criteria for membership...and while we're at it...ROFLMAO @ MENSA.

We have a few, "Galaxy-sized brains," here at CNA. One of them is a brilliant analyst and engineer, self-taught in programming to create excellent simulations, his work is not an easy read for other PhD's IN HIS FIELD (because it's at such a high level), and is a damn fine photographer with an amazing eye. Yet he is an extreme social intravert. Most people are blessed with one kind of intelligence or another, and rarely two. Da Vinci was perhaps a unique in that he had it all.

But torment is an excellent word. It must be incredibly frustrating not to be able to communicate with people on the same plane, a terrible aloneness. My wargame group is hosted by someone who is as close to being a genius as one could ask for, if he isn't, and I can tell when he gets frustrated with the level of conversation. And this is a group that consists of two junior and one senior defense analysts, a PhD in Nuclear Engineering AND Law, a PhD in Political Science, and an MBA. This guy's PhD almost got rejected. It was in Political Science but had so much math the commitee didn't understand it. Where, you may ask, was this? MIT.

Yeah! And then muh....member that Matt Damon guy who was like a janitor at like Harvard? Then he and this Ben guy? Wrote a movie about it and like it was like an oscar winner and stuff? Member that? (pause) That was awesome. He was all smart and stuff.

I have this same problem at work. More to do with the fact that I work with complete idiots than it does me being smart. But that's a whole 'nuther issue..
