Have you ever felt like a genius?

Zana · 14th October 2003, 02:56

Some of you might be super-intelligent, so it probably happens all the time

But when have you ever just said to yourself: "I'm so smart!"

ElChevelle · 14th October 2003, 02:59

EVERY damn time I post here

Nimelennar · 14th October 2003, 03:03

A lot of the time when I'm helping people with math, computers, etc.

When I'm reading through the forums and find people misplacing "there apostrophe's" (their apostrophes) and doing other things that they drill into you in English class as being improper grammar time and time again but no one ever does it properly.

100% True Story:

One time when I was 3 years old, I had a dorito. I looked at it once, and then I said: "triangle!" Then I bit off a piece of the top and looked at it again and said: "trapeziod!"

My parents were so proud of me!

Starfire · 14th October 2003, 03:07

Oh hell Never!Im not even near nor have I ever been near genious level.I know somebody who is one though.

ShyShy · 14th October 2003, 03:11

Only when I have to deal with the patients/customers. THEY make me feel like a genius, freakin' morons.

BullGawD · 14th October 2003, 03:22

Dammit, Chev. I swear you and 'jaz have all the best answers stored backstage in a thread somewhere, and an alarm goes off everytime you can use one.

Myself? Rarely. It makes me feel rather good if I run spell check on something and all it finds are the things I meant to be wrong.

Of course, this is the same person who, since we've bought a cat, always asks "Me?" after his fiance asks him to do something, even though we're the only two people in the house. :broke:

Mostly I just feel like I'm willing to work harder than most people.

Oh, and - lol, cute story Pixelcraft.

iomegajaz · 14th October 2003, 03:27

A couple of my friends aren't even in the same range of intelligence levels as I and my best mate are. He and I occasionally exchange glances when friends use big scary words, without knowing what they mean, usually in the wrong way. It's.. nice, to know I'm above average. It's really nice. =)

griffinn · 14th October 2003, 03:29

There was this one time when I strategically licked a lollipop until it became an icosahedron...

No, not really.

During the Apple ][ era I worked out where Rescue Raiders stored the amount of money you have, and cheated my way into victory. This was before the advent of automatic tracers and debuggers.

Starbucks · 14th October 2003, 03:34

When I talk to people who have no idea what I am talking about, I feel like a genius.

Trigear · 14th October 2003, 03:35

i feel like a genius every day, from the moment i wake up to the moment i go to bed. but especially when i'm talking to other people.

Asking parents' friends things like, "Seen poon?" doesn't reallly do it for me. You're lucky, Starbucks.

The smarter you are, the more you want to know. Then it becomes hard to accept that 98% of earth's population is rather stupid and doesn't think too much, while so much depends on them. Still we can't do without these people. In this world ignorance is bliss and life becomes a lot easier...

caitcid · 14th October 2003, 03:40

I felt like a genius when I was the only kid who got 100% on one of my Lang arts tests. Teacher just had to announce it!

Then in my Biology classes I have the most stupidiest kids that just like to cause problems with the teacher and never getting their work done. 21 people failed a test..some without even marking it..while 6 passed. X_X

I feel smart compare to some people.....

ElChevelle · 14th October 2003, 03:49

It is great to walk around thinking "these people are so freakin' numb" especially when you take a trip to WalMart.

teh Nightwing · 14th October 2003, 03:59

skinme! · 14th October 2003, 23:42

When I thought in phsyics once, why don't they just play the negative of a sound wave to dampen out noise and then found out a year or so later Lexus were experimenting with doing it.

griffinn · 15th October 2003, 01:36

That will cancel out the screams when a Lexus slams into a crowd.

And it probably explains why Lexus doesn't listen to its customers.

I wouldn't know, because I only feel like me. But then, I'm a genius, so I guess that a yes.

Note to skinme: Yeah, that's been around for quite a while. The problem, of course, is that you have to get the anti-wave synced up perfectly with the wave, very, very close to the origional source to have the best impact. Otherwise, you can cancel out sound to a specific area (say, your ear), by wearing a headset like contraption.

Cylob · 15th October 2003, 15:23

Maybe they are looking but the brain just can't process?

Raz · 15th October 2003, 18:59

k_rock923 · 15th October 2003, 19:21

there was a time i was a genius. i was reading at a very young age and at a much higher level than i should have. I breezed through elementary school. What a joke. we had these tests to see how you did compared to everyone else in your school and i took first place in all of them. People were expecting me to go to an ivy league college when i grew up.

Now, i'm not as great in school. Still above average and I LOVED chem. I plan on majoring in it. But, its just not the same as it used to be. I know why too. Its this damn computer. Too many distractions.
