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

Mark Clifton doesn't have a PhD, but he's smarter than you. ;P

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. :)

No, nobody is smarter than me. That is the point of this thread. I mean, Marc is smart but, to be brutally honest, I am still smarter. I didn't see anybody else come up with a message thread like this!

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.

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

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.

Indeed "Life of Hard Knocks" and not English grammar apparently. ;P

Much more - Master's degrees are trivial.

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

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

Captain See Sharp and Adnan Siddiqi are smarter than you.

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