Please help my raise my IQ points back to normal level!!!!!

[LynneSin]

I spent the weekend with a very dear friend of mine and one of her close friends. I adore both of them but I swear I lose IQ points anytime I visit them.

How can 2 thirty-something women spend 90% of their time talking about relationships??!!! And why do they insist I must have some type of problem because I'm perfectly happy to NOT be in a relationship and personaly not even wasting my efforts to look for one. They started to analyze why I'm so anti-relationship and after awhile I just shutup and zoned them out. Then the one girl complained that her potential new boyfriend works too many hours and that'll have to change if they are to be in a committed relationship

I will give credit to my friend for one thing. I had bought an XL baby-doll tee-shirt from DU, but if that thing was a true adult XL then I'm Laura Bush's twin sister. But my friend, a medium/small, the shirt fit perfectly and she even happily wore the thing to the concert we went to last night (she's very anti-bush).

So please, say something intelligent and profound that can help me recover the 20IQ points I feel I lost yesterday.

Thank you

Trivia fact:

Slugs melt in salt.

There, that should up your IQ a point or two.

1. Watch an Ernest movie

it'll make you feel relatively smarter.

2. Personally, I like to talk philosophy

and about different cultures. Maybe if you looked at your adventure as an anthropological foray into a subculture, your brain would be protected!

3. a squared + b squared = c squared

Always works for me.

6. I've run into the same problem and

I can feel my brain cells running out of my ears! You didn't lose any IQ points...it's clear to me that you have enough to spread them around! Share them with your misguided friends! :-)

8. have you heard about

leaking black holes? That is some smart stuff Stephen Hawking come up with

[Endangered Specie]

14. Yeah, kinda intersting...

I wish such stuff could get discussed more at DU than it does :(

12. There are 3 kinds of people

1) people who talk about things
2) people who talk about people
3) people who talk about ideas

Its sort of an ascending hierarchy. You prefer Level 3, but you are surounded by Level 2. Don't feel too bad, though: men usually tend to find themselves surrounded by Level 1 types...

15. There are 3 levels of conversation too...

1 Ideals/Theories <-DU occasionally
2 Current Events/Society <-DU mostly
3 Gossip <-DU occasionally

13. Every year the cows in the US burp

about 50 million tons of valuable gases into the atmosphere. If these gases could be caught and directed, the burps of ten average cows could keep a small house heated for a year.

It's true.

16. Heres a quick math problem to help you out...

considering whole numbers A,B,C,n ... A^n + B^n = C^n is not true for n>2


Just a quickie ;)
