A PhD does not mean you are smart - I know a few PhD's and they are definately not all smart, one of them has 3. :)

Yes it does.

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.

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
If you are evaluating someone's level of intelligence based solely on degree status, what is 1 PhD worth? Say, in comparison to 3 Master's degrees?
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

You mean it confirms your doctors diagnosis.... :-D

have PhD's I do in 'Life of Hard Knocks!' Otherwise, I went to grade school! Just a comment.. My Son-In-Law is a Professor? or close to it, in Early Child Education... Hard for a Father-In-Law.. who 'took' one of my Daughter away... but I LIKE him ALOT! He is so smart! I get in conversations with him to try to get him mad at me and he hands me a lolypop! He is the greatest! AND he loves Hard Rock?

My doctor doesn't have a PhD. His "Dr" prefix is only a symbolic token and not indicative of original academic achievement. Medical doctors don't actually deserve the term in front of their name as they don't have PhDs. :-D Anyways, this entire thread is meant to be humorous so as to break the monotony of the SoapBox.

Much more - Master's degrees are trivial.

I think our lead Quant Analyst only has 2 masters degrees. Pathetic.

Interesting ... since 1 PhD just means that you spent all your time focusing on 1 subject ;P

That has to be one of the coolest ideas I've heard of in a while.

Unless that situation requires designing a particle accelerator.
