Funnily enough it is intelligent people who have a higher suicide rate, not "stupid" people. I guess "stupid" people are happier with their lot in life and do not have all these worrying thoughts and possibilities in their head. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge Sonork ID: 100.9903 Stormfront

He didn't even allude to anything, so your slow VB/Webby/Management brain didn't even have to change gears to keep up. The stupid people have a lower suicide rate as they're too stupid to pull it off correctly. At least that is what I got from the quote. Michael Martin Australia mmartin@netspace.net.au "Don't belong.

There seem to be a fair number of tortured souls among those classed as genius , and very few from the Feynman mould.
True but I believe it to be not true. They sound more like anal perfectionists more than genius's. I'm thinking if I was Stephen Hawkings i'd already have a bullet lodged in my head...How that guy remains alive is a mystery to me...He's more a man than I am.
