ok, so no applause is necessary................mm has gone from being just plain mean, to a bonafide mean genius.........last night fox did a 2-hour special program called testing america. or something like that.....they had a studio audience divided into groups......scientists, teachers, blondes, bodybuilders, students, construction workers, and celebrities........and these folks, along with those of us at home, and those on-line....took a 60 question IQ test.......there were sections on memory, logic, reasoning, math, etc.....with analogies, word meaning, number sequences, addition of strings of numbers, and stuff like which pattern folds up into what shape.......the celebrities were pretty lame.........talk show hosts i had never heard of, an olympic athlete, and yes.....heidi fleiss, the ex-madame turned author.......the computor kept tabs on how each group was doing in relation to other groups........the scientists pretty much kept op top the whole way......in fact, the host randomly picked one to talk to...and he turned out to be a rocket scientist.........he joked that he thought about being a brain surgeon..........anyway...........in the end, they averaged scores from all who particpated on line and in the audience.........and the results were as follows......the state of washington topped the list as smartest state.....boston as smartest big city, chantilly, vs as smartest town overall (averaged 134.......).........men averaged 113, women 111.........one of the scientists had an IQ of 138...the highest in the audience, so they gave him a trophy....no word on who, other than the bodybuilders, had the lowest.........ok, so mm had a score of 130...........just barely enough for mean mamma to join the mean mensa society............obviously, this test is no measure of sense........scw asked me on the phone last night when fox was going to have the test for 'lick of sense'.........., asserting that i had little of that......now that is in itself a rather mean comment......that's my boy, a chip off the old block..............
