Nah he just invented the internet and fought off man bear pig.
Going to be an Aerospace Engineer? Sure that counts, but embellish a bit. I created this thread so all of us geniuses could poke fun at each other. Apparently people that build flying robots as a hobby don't think little of themselves :)

I try and remember a single genius who started conversations, or any communication with their credentials...or put down others as stupid.
Nope, seems a sign of something other than genius to act that way. I am certain the truly bright see it and smile with us.

Wait, do you mean to tell me there's no graduate program for 'genius'? That's as disappointing as finding out there's no job called 'getting paid'.
I watched a documentary on Ben Franklin the other day. He seemed pretty smart but I'm afraid he didn't have a college degree so he must have been stupid. *sarcasm*

The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws.
It is unfortunate that the intelligent are often subjugated under totalitarian governments. All of this in the "land of the free" no less.
There was a time when "Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none." was the doctrine of the day. Now we have ITAR.

"Stupid is, AS stupid does"
Forrest Gump's "Stupid is as stupid does" is a variant of an old
adage, "Handsome is as handsome does." This saying appears in J.R.R.
Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" and in Herman Melville's "Billy
Budd," and can be traced as far back as the 14th Century.
"Handsome is as handsome does" basically means that true handsomeness
has to do with a person's behavior, not just a handsome face. The
saying is also phrased in the forms "Pretty is as pretty does" and
"Beauty is as beauty does."
Forrest's version of the saying means that stupidity is not just a
surface thing derived from a person's appearance. Stupidity is a
matter of deeds, not looks. Like the other versions, it comes down to
this: judge people by what they do, not by how they appear.

I was diagnosed as a kid also and called it "dickslesia". Get it? Cuz of my nickname? HaHa. I still swap letters and have to correct almost evetything. Other than this it never interfered too much so I guess ain't so bad.

I discovered the Neutrino in a homemade lab at the age of four. In 1975 I built the world’s first flat panel television using 40 light bright sets and a water driven reactive plasma engine (which I also invented). I have scored more symphonies than both Beethoven and Bach combined and I have won the America’s Cup 5 times in a row with an invisible carbon fiber sailing yacht that I built from scratch. But even with all of that under my belt I still have to buy RTF because I’m not as smart as you guys…

How do I explain a fart knocker...
Well, it depends on if your wife or girlfriend has gas. If she doesn't it can't work...but you can practice. :D
If she does, have her get in the shower, clean up a bit....you can follow her in there if you want but it doesn't matter.
You must be aroused to do this.
Bend her over and tell her to slowly start farting. While aroused you'll, well...start knocking on the back door. :eek:
You can also do this with out starting the fart. it's called a ghost fart knocker. Simply done by entering the back door when gas if available.
Is it wrong to crack yourself up?

I hate to brag but I see now that I must.
I invented space. Actually it's the space particle that sits in what some call Dark energy of which I invented as well. God and I were talking some years ago on how to make all matter possible to which I replied that everything needs to be a wave or fluctuation of pure energy. Pure energy is simply a wave that travels along the Dark energy fluctuations, an idea that was theorized and put into practice.
Now, string theory is loosely based on my invention.
I also invented time travel. A process by which baryonic matter is converted to baryonic energy traveling between space particles to a lower level or higher level of Dark energy fluctuations.
Oh, and almost forgot...a byproduct of my inventions is gravity...which is seen as a result of and not an actual energy itself, (there are no gravity waves). Yes, all the theoretical physics have it wrong.
