Our granddaughter, age 15, just informed us that she had been accepted as a member of the Mensa society. For someone who barely graduated from high school, I am suitably impressed. Any members in the Mercedeshop community ?

Any group that would have me as a member I wouldn't want to belong to.

Hell, Dave, you're more'n half-way there!

I never could see much point in even trying to get it.

Besides, I hate easy tests.

Very impressed, Pete. I take it the credit goes to your wife and kid?

Obviously, I am not a member.

You've got that right,,,, I was VERY lucky to even graduate from high school. I may have gotten 1 A in my entire life,,,,, but then again, I don't think so.

I have always scored really well on tests. 99th percentile is not unheard of for me so those folks don't really impress me that much. I don't like being on lists, don't want them to have my info.

Ah, he doeth protest too much...

Pete- Congrats !

Actually, I am a member of the rocket scientist society.

Seriously, Pete, that's great! It's great when our progeny make us proud. My folks had to wait a LONG time for THAT day to finally come with me.
