[QUOTE=shill le 2nd;17697864]I "spoke" it subvocally.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but the first time I scanned it my brain was thinking 'newt'. Either way, its shitty.
The joke was bad. IQ has nothing to do with lizards. [editline]06:15PM[/editline] Fuck lizards.
High logical intelligence, lower social intelligence. Although if they can find other people of that archetype and get along then all the more to them
People using smarts to make dumb people pay money to be part of an organization, jokes on you
This is logical. I mean, like... This is planes having landing gear logical. **Wolfie's sarcasm metre explodes in the background.**
Anyone who needs to validate their intellect by associating with other pseudo intellectuals clearly has some self esteem issues. Look at me, I validate my intellect by hanging out with the bunch of you inane idiots.

I crack up everytime I see that guy with the pink/purple glasses.

I got a letter in the mail from them when I took my last IQ test years ago and I declined. I've hated them since. [editline]06:22PM[/editline] [QUOTE=noahh;17698032]And by pretending you're better than us because you got beaten as a child.[/QUOTE] No by acknowledging I am better than all of you because I'm smart AND rich AND I get laid. AND I'm properly educated AND I'm working a job seeking civil justice AND I'm fucking rich AND I have a Mustang AND my dick is HUGE.
[QUOTE=Lankist;17697952]Look at me, I validate my intellect by hanging out with the bunch of you inane idiots.[/QUOTE] You should enter the special olympics to feel like an athlete
[QUOTE=Zeke129;17698065]You should enter the special olympics to feel like an athlete[/QUOTE] See, you just compared Facepunch to a grouping of retarded children. I like you.
[QUOTE=Lankist;17698058]I got a letter in the mail from them when I took my last IQ test years ago and I declined. I've hated them since.[/QUOTE] In someways it ( mensa ) is the same as the nation conference for something leadership something children.. ( I got to go find the letter.. ) I got mine in highschool and it said they welcome smart kids and born leaders.. So I thought I was special and called.. then I realized it costs hundreds of dollars to join, and every idiot I know in the school got the same letter.
[QUOTE=Lankist;17698079]See, you just compared Facepunch to a grouping of retarded children. I like you.[/QUOTE] Weren't you the guy who accused me of being a nazi?
That's because IQ is in no way a representation of intelligence, rather a fairly subjective representation of capacity for learning. [editline]06:26PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Zeke129;17698098]Weren't you the guy who accused me of being a nazi?[/QUOTE] I don't remember any of your names. Tomorrow I'll read something you wrote and chastise you for it, and I won't remember ever seeing the name zeke129 in my life.
oh who cares. if people want to join MENSA, it's their prerogative. personally, i'm not fussed. i'm a member of the RSC anyway, which is way cooler :colbert:
[QUOTE=Lankist;17698112]That's because IQ is in no way a representation of intelligence, rather a fairly subjective representation of capacity for learning.[/QUOTE] We actually have these kids who roam around campus bragging about how their IQ is like 126 and that makes them automatically right on everything. They also want to get it higher so they can join mensa.. They play that brain game on the DS to help them. Which I find hilarious

I thought the joke was that he said it was called Tiny because he said it was "my newt" which if it's said out loud could be my newt, or minute. I thought I was clever and smart until I read the answer. :'C Ah fuck, read the answer too fast, I get it now. I thought that they just thought that mixing up a lizard and a newt was funny.
[QUOTE=Black-Bird;17697363]Mensa believes that the more knowledgeable a person is.. The smarter they are. Knowledge is not the same as intelligence. Example: This is a joke on their website: [img]http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/9366/banjokes2.jpg[/img] ( this guy looks like a moron :lol: ) A guy walked into a bar with a lizard sitting on his shoulder. He said to the bartender, "A double whiskey for me and," pointing to the lizard, "a half-pint of Guinness for tiny here." "Why do you call him tiny?" asked the bartender. "Obviously," the man answered, "because he's my newt." Under that it says "If you laughed on your first read, you belong in mensa! If you noted that a newt is actually an amphibian and not a lizard, you should really consider joining today!" The joke is horribly unfunny, Now lets say a biologist and a "genius" for example.. read the same joke. The biologist laughs out loud and the genius doesn't "get it" Would that mean that the biologist is more intelligent than the genius? No, It just means the biologist is more knowledgeable in that particular subject. So tell me this mensa... A person who never in his lifetime who had the opportunity to know what a newt even is... Isn't Qualified you join your little party? Even if he is extremely intelligent? Now I know this is just a joke on their website, but they are many other examples like this.. If you look around on their site. [/QUOTE] You didn't get the joke [editline]11:33PM[/editline] [QUOTE=FKop_Dragon;17698209]I thought the joke was that he said it was called Tiny because he said it was "my newt" which if it's said out loud could be my newt, or minute.[/QUOTE] That IS the joke lol
[QUOTE=TH89;17698234]You didn't get the joke [editline]11:33PM[/editline] That IS the joke lol[/QUOTE] the joke made me wince.
[QUOTE=TH89;17698234]You didn't get the joke[/QUOTE] Well the funny minute version isn't the answer... according to the picture. I thought they just didn't realize it themselves. Unless they are trying to be clever or something stupid like that. This guy is funny... He got a letter from Mensa begging him to join, and he just told them to fuck off.

[QUOTE=Black-Bird;17698296]Well the funny minute version isn't the answer... according to the picture. I thought they just didn't realize it themselves. Unless they are trying to be clever or something stupid like that. [/QUOTE] no the bit about reptiles and amphibians is a nod to the fact they're geeky people. it's a self deprecating joke.
[QUOTE=mike;17698339]no the bit about reptiles and amphibians is a nod to the fact they're geeky people. it's a self deprecating joke.[/QUOTE] Ah alright now I see. I wondered why they didn't put it. I thought they just fucked up.. Which didn't surprise me.
i think what we've established during the course of this thread is that based on that image, a number of people here aren't qualified to join mensa :smith:

[QUOTE=Maurice;17698042]I crack up everytime I see that guy with the pink/purple glasses.[/QUOTE] It's the color of brains.
