Well, yes. I certainly am. But many of the others here are really very bright indeed - I'm just good at lying about my height, and it seems to be working so far.

It's so hard to be offended by such an eloquently worded attack.

It's hardly eloquent. The excessive elision not only makes it ineloquent (by crunching two clauses into what looks like one), but leaves it open for misinterpretation, because "just almost" looks like a weird ESL-induced tautology. I know that F-grade, arrogant style guides written by academics who don't have a clue what they're talking about say that you should use as few words as possible*, but you should never omit any word that is necessary for the reader's comprehension of the meaning. "It's just that almost all of you..." * A genuinely useful rule would be "Use the right number of words"

Damn, you found us out. The real trick of being a senior anything, let alone engineer, isn't being a genius or even being brilliant, it's having the experience to know what not to do.

Your a legend in your own mind eh?

The politicians, probably. But almost certainly not the electorate...

I certainly hypothesize that you may be much more smart than I am; but, I'm afraid that, in itself, does not make you special, because I consider trying to operate as if that hypothesis is true for everyone to be one of the few sure ways I can improve whatever smidgen of intelligence I might have. Yet, I also think many people are smart enough to masquerade as much smarter than they actually are (fooling themselves, as well as others); I think the instant-access to almost all information on the Internet is a particularly valuable tool for maintaining a pretense of intelligence, simulating being informed. Sure works for me :) But, clearly, you are not one who masquerades as any kind of intelligence :) cheers, Bill

You know he said "genius", not "genus", yes?

I was referring to where he said "stupid", but I could be dumb enough to have got it wrong. I lie about my height a lot.

From the description why did the Police get them out, Darwin Award potential! :rolleyes:

Well, that and having a steady supply of underlings to blame.

We're not stupid enough to post our email address in a high traffic website.

:thumbsup: :laugh: good one. On the plus side, the police don't have to bother locking their cell door :-D BTW, who gets a neck tattoo like that?

I know I should laugh but a friend of mine awoke the morning after his stag night in tattooist chair (a friend of one his friends) with a dashed line with 'cut here' on his neck (done in indelible ink) tattooist friend always kept his keys safe after that :laugh:

I have hundreds of emails :) And this email was not used. So I decided to adapt it here. And there is nothing very wrong with publishing the email on website. It's not a password for email, it' just a email. Do you happen to suffer from paranoia? :)

Sarcasm? I've no idea what that is. I had to look it up.

I've found, by using basic geometrical calculations, that I tend to be not so high when I'm lying.

It appears, however, that we're smart enough to use sarcasm and thunder-stealing techniques.

Nah. It's easier to just lie about my weight.
