“Jayne Mansfield was decapitated in a car accident”

Actually she wasn’t. Yes the car top was sheared off and there appears to be hair on the roof of the car while Jayne’s body lays near the side of the car. Having had the actual newspaper article. It does show blond hair dangling from the top part of what was the car roof and Jayne’s body on the side. I can see all of her was intact. It could be either a wig of her or her scalp that was sheared off when the roof sliced open like a can lid. Funny that article they placed it on the other side page to a recipe LOL. Wow how times has changed. Now journalist hide anything even about the usurper but back in those days they showed and reported everything I suppose. As a kid I found it odd to be showing an actual photo of a car wreck with the bodies inside and turn the page over and you get recipe.

I always thought the E-man’s IQ was waay up there, like >200.

Beyond some point, tests become worthless at measuring intelligence, because they are limited by what the test creator considers "high intelligence" to be.

The true test of genius is: what does the person create/discover/develop?

Jayne Mansfield was decapitated in a car accident because she was too dumb to wear her seat belt.

Rumor. She was NOT decapitated. Look it up if you don't believe me.

Okay, she gets a 10 for looks, and 10 more for caring about her appearance, which should give her a well-earned IQ of 191.

However, if she’s liberal, or turns liberal, her IQ drops by at least 90 points.

Here is what the libs have done to the education system - a smart kid doesn’t want to be a scientist or engineer, she wants to be an actor or an architect. I suppose actors get richer than scientists, but the chance to change the world is nil (and the chance of getting rich is really small). Contrary to what they say, liberalism sucks the idealism out of kids, they are more interested in #1. Kind of like Rush’s comments about Obama saying he is against everything that his policies promote.

I used to do “Engineers’ Week” talks in public schools to 8th grade classes, found very few who wanted to go into engineering - most wanted to be sports stars or entertainers. A few wanted to be doctors or lawyers, but almost nobody wanted to do science or engineering. Our best and brightest used to gravitate toward science, don’t think that is generally true any more.

When he first presented his General Theory of Relativity only a dozen or so people couldn't even understand it.

Yet, there have been reports that, the true genius behind "Einstein's" research and theories, was his wife, and she was never credited with anything, while Einstein got all the credit and press.

However, I don't know about the veracity of those reports, and we'll probably never know the whole truth.

"...they had always thought I was blonde and a bit ditzy."

Newsflash, lassie. If they thought (think) you are "a bit ditzy", I can assure you that it is not because they thought you were a 'blonde'. Coloured that way does not count.

As we know, a fella can be very smart a something and dumb as a post at others...or he can be pretty smart (but not too) at many things.

Life has its justice...no one can have everything.

Smart people do dumb things.

Does that mean that Obama voters are smart?

Obama voters largely ARE smart enough to vote for their economic livelihood.

Be it entitlements for the “poor” or multi-million dollar deals for the rich.

I tested out in middle school with a very (freakish) high IQ. I was pulled out of class three or four times over the course of the year to take different tests. Didn’t know what it was about at the time. Years later my parents shared that they were giving me different tests to confirm the original score.

I graduated high school 23rd in a class of 444. In college I majored in political science and graduated with at 3.5. Nothing stellar. The only benefit I get out of my IQ is that I am able to make connections between disparate ideas/concepts that other people don’t make and I have a very good memory. Doesn’t make me a great businessman, or author, or musician or anything.

IQ is NOT an absolute indicator of exceptional.

That kind of smart, is full of repercussions, since, voting for their economic livelihood through government, is the same as dooming their futures. The kind of livelihood they're voting for might seem to be a smart move to them, but, they're not smart enough to think about the consequences down the line.

I watched a program on cable TV recently about Einstein. They said he took a job where he would have time to just sit and think things out. If I just sat and thought I would fall asleep. I need to move around and do things but not things like math and science LOL!

You’re right, of course.

By that standard, veritable geniuses.

“A 16-year-old girl from Essex stunned teachers by scoring 161 on her IQ test, more than Bill Gates and even Albert Einstein.”

Get back to me when she gets some peer-reviewed papers published in leading Physics journals. Until then I’ll believe that she simply used the Atlanta-approach in her latest IQ test, which is to be provided with the answers prior.

Also, when you see these kinds of detailed profiles (look her up in Google), it shows that the parents are shopping her around...which means that this is more her parents than her.
