High IQ scores mean you’re good at IQ tests, and that’s it.

Eons ago, when I joined the army as a conscript, the officer said I scored higher than 90% of anyone taking the test.

Love Dark Side of the Moon. Best Rush album ever. Plus, James Hetfields vocals on Stairway to Heaven remains unmatched today, 25 years later.

I don’t eat dry toast with nothing on it
