As to whether or not I will revise or re-post, I don't know, its late and I'm exhausted from work, its funny because it was this incident which led to me dis... |

| I like to boast about my IQ almost as much as I like to boast about having Aspergers Syndrome, both of which are the result of random genetic chance, one might as well boast of having an average or below average IQ, or skin color for that matter. I suppose the real problem is that there is a perceiv... |

A= 44
