There is a mystery Mod who occasions threads from time to time. I think all Mods are mysterious by nature. It's part of their charm.

The more you know, the more you realize how much you dont know.There is much truth in that statement. I am very well educated, and yet the older I get the more I realize how much I don't know.

Ive noticed people who think theyre gorgeous usually arent, either. I'd like to see a new rule at F.R. Those posting "guilty" or "not guilty" verdicts, when a female picture is posted at F.R., must post a picture of themselves too.
We'd see how many "pots" were calling the "kettle" black.

But does it work in reverse? The smarter your are the more inept you believe yourself to be? On one's own, a very difficult quality to measure. But in a capitalistic society, the market place usually sorts things out, eh?

Keep in mind that this was written by psychologists who think they are really really smart. You have a point. :)

Too soon old and too late schmart! When I was a kid, the retort:
"If yer so smart, why ain'tcha rich?"
Now that I'm old, I see that's the way it worked out.

It's kind of a vicious spiral. The smarter they are the more likely their theory is to be true but the theory is that the smarter you are the more wrong you are.
I sense a black hole of intellect on the horizon, captain. I recommend full reverse on the warp engines. Let's make like geese and get the flock out of here! ;^)

That explains why Obama believes he’s the smartest guy around.

It isn’t true in all things. I’ve never convinced myself I was good at basketball or could dance worth a damn.

That reminds me of a line from some comedian (I can’t remember who):
“I’ve done some things I’m not proud of. And the things I am proud of ... are disgusting.”
To: Vendome; humblegunner
I would deeply deprecate it if you two too would stop obstreperating my oblivious superlativity.
Now, if you'll decuse me I have some nacissitizing to amend to too.
Spank ewe fairy Mutch.
