$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('The_Toecutter', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'H')mmmm.....no need for me to lie about a test I took 12 years ago. I specifically remember my school counselor relaying my score to me. If any of you would like, I could probably look him up, have him scan the test in and post it online.

Take the "R U Stupid" test:

I found that 17% of people are less stupid than I am.

I considered the idea after the post didn't show the image. I decided there wouldn't be anything to gain by taking the time to upload it. The post shall remain unmodified.

Now see here... 15's a great marry'in age!

Just kidding.

The test is in error. Number of planets is 8. Not nine. If one were to include the dwarf planets, the number is 11, still not nine.

I'd like to see one of these really smart people punctuate this:

jim where bill had had had had had had had had had was right.

It can be done quite nicely to make perfect sense.

[The_Toecutter]

Jim, where Bill had had, "had," had had, "had had." "Had had" was right.

Is there a name for when you have "that that" "had had" etc in a sentence? I know we all use them in speach without much thought, but they always look wierd when written out.

Thanks.

I never paid any attention to English in school, figuring it wasn't worth the time (yeah, horror, I know)... My approach was misc/science, math, science, nap, nap, band. As long as I napped quietly, the teachers mostly didn't care.

History in High School proved to truly be worthless. I learned more history in 12 hours of college classes than I did in all of Government Daycare. English on the other hand.... I think I missed some stuff that might have been worth learning.

Until I got out of the public school system altogether, school in its entirity was worthless. The students were mostly worthless(three rare exceptions), the teachers were mostly worthless, the material taught was truly and utterly worthless...

Those rare exceptions of students are the only friends I ever made. I still keep in touch with two of them, and only see them or talk to them once every month or two. They've gotten used to it, as that's just the way I am. We get stoned and/or drunk together and while fucked up, generally do things that no one with any normal sense of self preservation would do. Good times are had by all.

The brain is a massive I/O machine. The size of the datapath within is huge, though its processing speed is fairly slow. When thinking about the distinction between computer and brain, I think of a fairly slow, giant set of networked CPU's that have a datapath from ram to register, and a register size of a million bits, all connected together on a 10 gigabit network.

It helps to seperate what the two types of machines are good at.

So, I don't think we'll be replacing brain tissue with electronics any time soon; on the other hand, having a digital computer "assist", with some kind of neural interface seems to me to have gone from the remotely possible to the probable in recent years. Having the computer be external also makes it cheaper to swap out and upgrade. Upgrade nuts being the lifeblood of hightech, so you don't want to discourage them!
