Digression... actually, post-mortem recounts of the entire state show that Gore would have won had the entire state been recounted, as the Bush side had once suggested. Had the recount only occurred in areas where Gore suggested it was necessary, Bush would have ended up ahead. But even that leaves out the impact of the butterfly ballot, of the roadblock keeping African-American voters away from the polls on the panhandle, and from the thousands of eligible African-American voters stricken from the rolls under a contract to ChoicePoint, while at-the-poll appeals were primarily made available to Cubans.
Just trying to fight a defective meme before it spreads.

Mensa membership actually requires very little of you. Mensa only certifies that you are at or above a specific intelligence relative to the average of society. They demand nothing of you as to ethics, posture, or good manners.
I'm qualified to be a Mensa member; however I'm not so pretentious to think that being a Mensa member would make me a better person. Nor do I think I like any of the Mensa members around me. So, all of you Mensa snobs remember this: there are many around you with far greater intelligence. Do not assume because you are the member of an elitist and snobbish group that you are the best.
I'll use myself for an example: IQ - 151 Percentile rank: 0.4% At 0.4%, roughly 1 out of every 200 persons on average would be more intelligent than myself. Every Mensa member I've ever met walks around believing they are the most intelligent person in the room, at all times.

Bah, Mensa membership is easy.... 1 out of every 50 idiots gets the invite. Back when I was a Giga Society member, Mensans were our boot licking lackeys. They were fit for all manners of menial tasks from ritualistic scrotum shaving to carrying the piss buckets. In a pinch, they were even handy as replacement skeet targets. Ah, the summers in Rangoon... I remember them well.
Anyway, I dropped out of Giga since they weren't exclusive enough. I'm now making a bid for the Exa Society. My Princeton Review book arrived yesterday, but I haven't cracked it open yet since the test isn't until next week. Wish me luck.
umm... sucker?`

Now you're smart, so correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't percentile refer to the percentage of the population that is better than you? So wouldn't your percentile rank actually be 99.6?

nah, it's just a typical slashdotting ;)

Hey, another geek who likes golf. That makes 2 by my count.
Lump lingered last in line for brains, and the ones she got were sorta rotten and insane.
