Mensa is'nt so terrible even I was a member for a time although I do find quantitative tests of intelligence both subjective and inaccurate. @ Allison they may be on the blowhardish side but are they any worse than "tall bike rider" or " has a tiny amount of knowledge but spouts off anyway vegan"? How does Mensa differ? The truth is they are indeed bloody boring but I did'nt encounter much in the way of "asshole" behavior. I find it comical they are waiving the fee for Media members. Because of course they are renowned for being brilliant!(heavy sarcasm). Actually thinking you are intelligent is not quite the same as actually being intelligent and going to some uppity liberal arts school does not mean you are smart. The truth is many of us (including Me) are not quite as intelligent as we'd like to believe. I will at least cop to it

@CommentyColin, I am not an insider here and to be fair my analogies suck(thanks for the heads up though). Someone i know on the Mercury staff, did tell me that Allison is very intelligent (which I believe) and I just think It would be interesting for her to chronicle this, although I am sure she has WAY better things to do on this 4th of July weekend, I know I do and I don't have a bloody life! I dunno whats with the whole tall bike thing (I find them sillY), but it was not my intention to insult her at all. As I said, my analogies are brutal.lol
