But don't you have to be pretty stupid to start using drugs in the first place?! I doubt Danica McKellar was ever a drug addict. Oh, come on... I'm sure some do, but many of them do not. Yeah... I've always thought Paris Hilton was a genius... Seriously, people who are great at, for example...

Yes, you do. Are you saying people like Britney Spears and Paris Hilton are bright? :yuck: :yuck: :yuck: I think maybe IQ gives a good measure of intelligence up to a certain point. But it doesn't measure the intelligence of geniuses well. It seems like people here are saying that all of...

Goodbye Norma Jean From the young man in the twenty-second row Who sees you as something more than sexual More than just our Marilyn Monroe So does that mean she would've loved me too?:wink: Just wondering: what's your source for this? Hm, Richard Feynman's IQ was, purportedly, thirty...

At first I thought: you're making WHAT at school? But then I realized that you don't live in the United States, do you?

I've been looking at some of Monroe's quotes, and they seem to me sort of, well, smart and witty. Perhaps even as wise as Einstein's quotes. But I imagine Marilyn herself would've been pretty dimwitted. So, what's the matter here? Am I seeing cleverness where there is none, or do even dumb...

I don't think there is such a thing as an expert at "General Discussion."

You'd never guess by looking at her that she's good at math, would you? http://img40.imagevenue.com/loc102/th_95199_003.jpg BTW, here's a paper, which she (at least supposedly) co-authored: http://www.crazefiles.com/download.php?file=1c4dc002"

Well, when someone says that some moderator is an expert, I think that's typically taken to mean that he's an expert in the subject he's moderating. You're in the wrong forum. Also, an expert in mathematics or the sciences (the latter term is used loosely and encompasses many subject areas)...

Didn't Natalie Portman shave her head for that role?

Except Evo, it seems.

Mark McCutcheon is the greatest physicist evar! (Or so he seems to claim.)

"The Final Theory" - is this guy serious? There's something I've been trying to figure out about this guy, Mark McCutcheon, and his "Final Theory"; is he serious? I find it pretty hard to imagine that Mark actually believes what he says. So, I'm wondering whether he's a charlatan trying to make...
