        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

                      I used to design particle accelerators for cancer therapy. I don't miss that work as the clinical environment was very depressing, particularly the sick children.

                          Not since high school ... and as I recall, I didn't really care for it much when I read it then.

                                  It's a tongue-in-cheek thread. I'm just trying to change to mood of the Soapbox. You are free to return to the regularly scheduled program of conservative politics, anti-Islam, bigotry and general nonsense if you like.

                                        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)

                                          I'm so smart, no titles are worthy enough to be written next to my name. That's seriously smart! (I wish I could have the Master's degree revoked - it's a stupid stain on my resume! :mad:)
