Re: Completely OT
When your 35 you wish that daddy's genes did not include bolding, gut expansion, harry back-legs-nose-and ears.
And then there is always mom.

Re: Completely OT
I took a couple of IQ tests, and scored around 135. Now, my sisters and dad also took the exact same test, and it turns out that my dad scored slightly higher than I did. I find that really REALLY hard to believe (for various reasons), and from then on, decided that most IQ tests are a load of really stinky fecal matter.
How smart we are really doesn't matter much, its what we do with the intelligence we were born with that matters. Ambition matters more than intelligence in some ways.

Ah!
A son's view of there father.
When you 6 years old, Daddy is the biggest, strongest, smartest person you know.
When your 16, You have no Idea how dad has survived as long as he has with his obvious mental handicap.
When your 26, your amazed at how much dad has learned in the Last 10 years.

It is quite odd, especially given an interesting phenomenom known as the Flynn Effect, whereby starting around the 1930s, people have scoring progressively higher marks on IQ tests at a rate of approximately 3 points per decade.
Which I probably should have mentioned before Christmas, since it's an invaluable weapon against cranky older relatives.
"In my day, we did have things so easy!"
"Yeah, because you weren't smart enough to figure out what the easy way way!"
I've used that one on a couple uncles to great effect. ;-)

Wow, I didn't know this. That's highly interesting. I just googled a bunch of stuff on this.

Re: Completely OT
See. The easy way is Google, they never invented Google.
Ok, so they never had computers or the internet, but that just further prooves it. Computers, debateably, have made life easier, they never invented them
