I have a PhD, but so what? I'm prouder of other things I've achieved in my life.
Your name alone is worth about 10 PhD's... :-D

If you were really as smart as you say, then you would know that there is always someone smarter, stronger, or better looking than you. Sorry, but a PhD won't teach you that. (dummy)

But I am as smart as I say, and thus nobody is as smart, strong or handsome as me. I am the ultimate! This thread proves it. I even have groupies!

It must be because you are so much smarter than me. Behold! You have a PHD, you are so smart and above everyone else on this board. Let us all bow down and give praise to The Apcalyptic Teacup, for only thou art holy and smart, blessed be the teacup! :rolleyes:

Yes, yes. I know. Thank you. Enough groveling now. You are dismissed.

Hell yeah. When people see it, they think I'm "a little smarter than average". Since my smartness approaches infinity (I like pushing the envelope..), you quickly realize that such first impressions don't give me enough credit. On the other hand, it's a good thing people don't even try to realize how smart I am. It is along such lines of thinking religions are born (trying to understand the incomprehensible). I couldn't bear all the nagging from all pathetic humans wanting me to perform miracles for them...

My God! You have the same problems that I do! Existence like this is extremely difficult, isn't it? It's so taxing being a genius amongst the company of dullards... :sigh: :laugh:

Not since high school ... and as I recall, I didn't really care for it much when I read it then.
If you decide to become a software engineer, you are signing up to have a 1/2" piece of silicon tell you exactly how stupid you really are for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week Zac
Me neither, but I can still remember lame little excerpts, making me smarter than you.

Ah, but the whole thread was intended to get off the regularly discussed topics, so I made myself a target.
And a whole lot of people just had to answer. Including myself. It's a beautiful thing... ;)

I'm trying to establish demonstrate the fact that I am the smartest person on this message board. So, how many of you other regulars have PhD's, or is it just me (thereby making me the smartest here)? :-D
So what is your PHD in --- psychology? That would make you an oxymoron!

Ah, but the differnce isn't that I "can't" remember them ... its that I intentionally purged the crap from my brain after taking my final exams for English that year. I had much better use for that section of my brain than to fill it with garbage from English class ;P

Which is my point. If you specialize in something, and then don't use that specialty, it is worthless in comparison to a universalist. If memory serves me, I think the statistics were something like 75% of people hold jobs outside of the field of their degree.

I know a few PhD's and they are definately not all smart, one of them has 3.
Obviously I am smarter than a person with 3 PhD's. Apparently they were too dimwitted to see the redundancy of having 3 degrees. Duh. Besides, doctorates in Basket Weaving, Agricultural Sciences and Psychology don't count as PhD's. So far, this thread confirms my initial hypothesis.
