2. I had heard "Genius is pain" but "Genius is frustrating" is new to me
Of course, it might just be a simple corollary, since pain can be frustrating

7. If you have been a victim you need to check out mensa.
It is very interesting to say the least. The trouble is that many of those that think they should belong and actually qualified for densa.

8. Fuck those whiny brainiacs! All geniuses (soi-disant or otherwise) should
be burned at the stake! If any of those scum unmask themselves in this thread, we should hunt them down and feed their charred corpses to rabid wombats...

:grr:

12. You know, after NASA turned down my proposal to do dental work on
thousands of stray cats and then use them as a tunable antenna for receiving long wavelength communications from extragalactic intelligent beings, I went on a national tour to try to pressure the government to reconsider. And I caught flak from lots of bitter jealous people like you, who don't care about the national epidemic of kittens with dental problems and don't know squat about communicating with extraterrestrials

10. I'm a genius who also has Asperger's Syndrome, so I'm double screwed.
Edited on Mon Nov-24-08 01:28 AM by Odin2005
Not only am I mocked as a "nerd" I'm constantly embarrassing myself by making horrible social faux pas. I also have dumbass woos telling me I've been poisoned by vaccines and need to be cured. :eyes:
