Generations of kids raised on classic Warner Brothers cartoons watched Bugs Bunny write off idiots with the words: "What a maroon!"

So.... we should expect to see this on MSNBCNNBCBS News, yes? After all, they wouldn't want to seem biased, would they?

It's just that a discussion of intelligence reminded me of the word, which I so often see spelled here as "maroon." Have never been able to figure out why this is and have wondered if it is an inside joke of some kind... Yes, inside cultural joke. It is Bugs Bunny's pronounciation of "moron" when he is ridiculing the adversary. Of course, no sooner does Bugs say this than the foe returns--even more enraged. See what you missed Saturday mornings.

Let's see his LSAT scores, his full medical records, his military records, his tax records, and his divorce papers.
He sure is hiding something.

Actually, we want Teresa's tax records and his campaign loan payments on their house.

Lots of "regular people" had higher scores than both.
So the point is...

I can relate to many aspects of your reply. My IQ is in the 140 neighborhood and I was an Air Traffic Controller for 20 years in the AF. I was able to see the big picture in my head at all times with aircraft closing in to the same point in space and others departing that point and crossing paths at different altitudes. It was always a moving 3 dimensional puzzle and I was extremely comfortable with the action.
Take me away from that environment and I get lost at the mall. I can walk into a store and when I walk back out I can't remember which way I arrived from. My wife has to make sure she pays attention to where we came from and where we're headed. Go figure...LOL

So far, this thread has avoided falling into a discussion of the worthless MENSA club, (hooray!) has forgiven intelligent folks who can't spell worth a tinker's damn (which leaves those of us who can spell feeling even more smug), and has saluted the most clever character ever created...the most qualified character to comment on another's intelligence, Bugs Bunny.
If this thread just had a beat and I could dance to it, I'd give it an "A".

Hehe -- I spanked both of them --- 1550 -- 730 Math 720 Verbal. You just failed addition, IQ genius.

It seems that one has to be wildly intelligent, fast-thinking, mathematically astute, and have an above-average knack for 3-dimensional thinking to master jets.Do bombers count? My father was a squadron commander in the 385th Bomb Group in WWII and you described him perfectly. :)

Beats me. My I.Q. is 145 and I just borrowed $120,000 on a $105,000 "post-war afterbirth" and wrote over $7,000 in checks to put a new roof on a severely gravitationally-challenged exercise in "bootstrap architecture" while my future eartnings could be measured in devalued Argentinian pesos, so who am I to judge?
LOL Rather humorous. However, I'd say there's no correlation between IQ and "street smarts." My IQ is at least 10 to 15 points lower than yours but most people say I have a lot of street smarts. Even my over 150 IQ daughter would ask me advice when it came to buying houses, cars, love, etc., and she could not out smart me in matters of the "street." However, intellectually she was way too bright for her own good - almost aced the SAT. She got 2 Engr degrees from Stanford.
We're all designed differently, thank goodness... LOL I bet your wife is full of street smarts.??

It would be similar to upper stratum private colleges that screen freshmen for academic success potential. 125-130 would be the norm. The distribution curve would have its bulge relatively far to the left but that would still be to the right of the general population curve.

For efficiency, I'll post the same thing here I posted over there:
Anyone who says conservatives are stupid don't have a clue.
I personally scored a 1560 (800M/760V) at the ripe age of 15 (last year), but I could care less what GWB or JFK scored - their intelligence is reflected a helluva lot better in their actions.
And, under that criteria, Dubya is roughly twice as intelligent as Kerry.
