we dont have basements. So what would be a better term to use for my upstairs room that has my recliners, 50 inch plasma, PS3 and football memorabilia on the wall? Not being a dick honestly asking for a better word. [/quote]
Why donāt yall have basements anyway? Theyād be a great place to take cover during a tornado. Been curious about that for a while.

Most of our land is sand based plus most of or a lot of Texas is at sea level would cost you and arm and a leg to put in a basement. Now up in the panhandle they may cause they are in tornado alley, but no where else really.
What if you actually have a cave?

uhā¦who the fuck cares??? Do people even use these anymore? I know Iāve never taken one, and donāt know anyone who has. Who are IQ tests developed by? Are you familar with Richard Feynman, one of the fathers of particle physics and Nobel Prize winner? Well, he took an IQ test just for shits and giggles and his score was as average as they come.
Are you this insecure? That you need to constantly throw this useless stat around to imply youāre somehow superior intellectually? I really donāt get it, even if itās 100% trueā¦so what?
Can i add to the fun facts pile? Did you know there are an infinite times as many women as men who give childbirth? [/quote]
Reading this post, I can see whoās insecure and itās not the guy youāre quoting.
I just googled Richard Feynman and his IQ. He took the test at 15 and his score was very close to the first scale of genius, so thatās not average. But if it helps you, my score is very, very close to his and Iām nowhere close to do all the things(discover, research, etc.) he did.
Also, just to mess with you (and you really need to relax), your last line is false. The number can go very close to infinite, but never infinite, since there have been pregnant maleā¦even if they were transexuals.

You are quite right. Feynmanās IQ was a bit below the average IQ of physicists. I mixed that up. Yet he stood out. I put little to no merit in an IQ score.
Out of curiosity, what struck you as insecure about my post?[/quote]
The tone of your post. Maybe you always post like this, I donāt know, but you seemed insecure about your own intelligence.
[/quote]
His post struck me as frustration at people throwing around useless stats as if they actually mean something or solidify the point theyāre making, as opposed to insecurity.

Yep, pretty much this. I am insecure about a few things in life, but my intelligence is not one of them. Iām happy with where I am at. My post was frustration, because I have encountered several guys IRL who throw around stats like this, and quite frankly, my experience has been that none of them are terribly bright so they need their stats to hide behind. [/quote]
Well, ok. I donāt think that was the intention of that poster. It lead to the cromosome talks and how there seems that there are more men on the extremes, so more geniuses, but more mentally challenged ones.
However, there are also people hiding behind the money they have, the gorgeus girlfriend they got, the swimming pool they just built, etc.
Nothing new.
