You know, I'm not, really. Recently I watched a program about Katie Morgan (porn star... and don't ask why. It was late, I was tired, and her atrocious boob job was mesmerizing) . There she sat, all nekkid tanned and porny, being interviewed about the "industry" and at the conclusion it was noted that Internet IQ tests (note: oh so scientific) gave her a score of 165. That's well into genius zone. But I imagine if you take enough of those little quizzlets (much like the afore-posted), you may realize that real IQ or smarts is not about test-taking*.
And consequently, some of the very smartest people I know are absolute morons - about some things, even most things relatively. Not to mention that there seems to be a connection between mental stability/emotional inconsistencies and genius. Just look at the artists, scientists, and achievers throughout history. They're busy making stuff, inventing stuff, revolutionizing stuff in between looney bin stints. Cutting off body parts, getting in arrears (or in the rear as the case may be), pissing off the Medici's or whatever ruling/banking class was footing the bill.
So, I guess it's all a matter of perspective. If you can do physics in your head but can't get your panties on frontwards, well where are ya then?? Not to say that frontwards facing panties are all the rage (got mine on inside out the other day**), but there is something to be said for not hitting your own head, with your own Jeep hatch, with your own arm-hand combo****.
*By the way - just polished off this semester with two perfect "A"'s and not in diminished subjects like "Remedial Pants Putting Oning,"*** but in International Finance and Entrepreneurship.
**as "inside out" as a micro-swatch of fabric can be
*** and people always use the "Underwater Basket Weaving" example here which I think would be damn challenging without gills or at least a papyrus reed that was long enough. Or maybe it's the irony...
**** What, as opposed to the spleen-follicle combo? Callete already, Güera!!

oh sure, that's what they want you to think before you get on the boat... and then where are ya without your handy reed, smarty weaver??
What I wouldn't give to be a micro-swatch piece of fabric right now!?!
Studies have shown "Connoisseurs of the Arts" (fans of porn), as well as several - okay two - adult performers, have near-genius IQs. Sarah Crowley (aka Katie Morgan) ventured into the Arts as a means to pay off her bail for trying to transport 100lbs of pot into the US from Mexico. Tell me that's not smart. Asia Carrera (check out the twice-enhanced tatas on her) is a lifelong Mensa member. A belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your feathered friends.
