Whoa, coming back to that Intelligence and Creativity thread, that would
REALLY fly in the face of Salinger's opinion of intellect vs. intelligence.
I guess it all comes down to how you judge intelligence. To me it's being
able to know when to speak and when not to, not how much of War & Peace you
can recite. Anyway, Mensa is just a bunch of intellectual elitists, like
pinning a badge to yourself reading I AM SMART. That episode of the
Simpsons sending it up was brilliance.
