It's anything you want it to be -- I throw the first pitch, and the last, bitch.

Oh, I neglected to mention, it's Chicago

Only at the danger of being a pain in the rear on the "Should Scientist... Or should-he-not-thread"...

... I will quote myself again on the IQ joke... For the slow ones and the Jersey / Alabama people...

Quote from TKOtrader: // This is the post I quoted when I made my "claim"!

http://www.emode.com/tests/uiq/

i scored a 124, not sure if thats good or not though

Quote from Scientist: // This is my reply to his post, my "claim"

224 here. WTF? I had 4 IQ tests in my life, including Wechsler test and Mensa cred. None of them ever scored >200.

As far as I know, the highest IQ ever measured was ~240 (= Unmeasurable Universal Genius, Leonardo Da Vinci)

If I was Leonardo Da Vinci, or just 16pts below him for that matter, I wouldn't be a trader.

Oh, and I got 100% everywhere and it says I'm a "Word Warrior", and that writer, translator, publisher, attorney, poet, politician, journalist or lecturer would be great jobs for me Ah well. I got it all wrong it seems. My whole life in business and finance was a waste of time.

Quote from Scientist: // This is the explanation after I came back to ET...

Reality is that I would have expected one of ET's smarter guys (nitro, funky, corvus, nkhoi, harrytrader, even Inandlong or db) to pick up on it first-hand, to then be perpetuated by these two trolls for a few more hours (by when people would have gotten the joke). Funnily enough, things turned out differently, a smart long-time lurker called Resolas Inamtih discovered the pun and finished the gag with a very elegant indeed post, to be then continued by the trolls.

What I didn't really expect so much is that the joke would take so long to figure out and yet get perpetuated in such an unelegant way once discovered.

I thought I made it so easy it wouldn't even work, but said "never underestimate the stupidity of the general public", which is a business maxim from Bradley Sugars, so I put a few (obvious?) hints in to make it simple:

1) I added exactly 100 points to the score of the person I quoted (124 = 224)! [Is this plain ovious or what?]
This should have made anybody with a brain snicker. Anybody here?

2) I literally said that "I got 100% everywhere and it says I'm a Word Warrior"
If I got 100% everywhere, how could I get a specifically high score anywhere, to excel in one particular field???
Who figured this one?

3) Anybody halfway non-ignorant or somewhat enquirical / sceptical should have figured the clause that "144" is the maximum attainable score in this test.
Anybody but Resolas figured this? Oh come on!!!

Does this look or sound funny, and fun-intended? Or is TM_Direct the only guy around with a sense of humour?

See, that's just off, dude. See, you're 'posed to say my mamma, as it's obvious to anyone that scores over 100 that you can't prove the existence of sibs.

Give your mom's pig-tails one good thrust for me!

Well, Goodbye_Dollars... He can't count either...

As John D. Rockefeller said : If you can still count your money, you ain't truly rich yet...

So how about you, Dolly? Can you count?
