...reminds me of a TV show I saw about 10 years or so ago....I think John Stossel interviewed a guy who was a bartender in Long Island was tested and his IQ was off the charts....he lived in a little concrete block home off the backyard of another house...didn’t own a car...and his Harley wouldn’t start. He busied himself in his off hours writing a book on “The theory of everything”....

They never did a follow-up show about him and I never heard anything else in print or TV about the guy.

I think I remember reading an article about that guy (and several other high-I.Q. under-achievers)...
