11-Year-Old Graduates With Degree In Astrophysics
Gotenosente writes "11-Year-Old Moshe Kai Cavalin has graduated from East Los Angeles Community College with a degree in astrophysics. 'At a time when his peers are finishing 6th grade, this only child of a Taiwanese mother and an Israeli father is trying on a cap and gown preparing to graduate with a 4.0 from community college.' The article continues with a quotation by the boy, hinting at his modesty, 'I don't consider myself a genius because there are 6.5 billion people in this world and each one is smart in his or her own way.' Daniel Judge, Cavalin's statistics professor, says, 'Most students think that things should be harder than they are and they put these mental blocks in front of them and they make things harder than they should be. In the case of Moshe, he sees right through the complications.'"
Its not rocket science after all
Think you're smart, kid? Well, I can still kick your ass at teatherball. (I hope.)

If I was too young to buy booze and be interested in chicks I probably could have got an A+ too. Show off....
And around here you can't even get higher than 5.
But why can't he be an evil genius? The world needs more evil geniuses so that we can get more super heroes.
com'on now, dont you get 30 points automaticlly for writting your name? Maybe an extra 10 if you spell it correctly....
"your name". "it".
Ha! 40 points, bitches!
Bow-ties are cool.

Wow, I never thought of super-villainy from the supply and demand curve viewpoint. If each superhero kills or incarcerates one super villain every month, each super hero is going to go through a dozen evil geniuses annually. And they can't all be super-duper evil geniuses, because any super-duper evil genius will recognize that mortality rate right quick and is likely to make a different career choice, such as stock trading.
I think an associate's degree at age 11 is just about the right time for something horrible to happen that will corrupt him into turning evil. Perhaps there's a super-duper evil genius right now who is plotting to kidnap his mother to turn him into a revenge-motivated evildoer! Maybe the super-duper evil genius is seeking out dozens of these smart kids in advance, hoping to create enough evil geniuses to serve as cannon fodder for the future superheroes, and for them to serve as a distraction for when he puts his ultimate plan for world domination into motion.

Everything I needed to learn about wagon-wheel axles I learned from Oregon Trail.
Hey, if a kid that smart tells me I'm just as smart as he is, who am I to argue?!
Of the ones you mentioned the only real degree is journalism.
You haven't read a newspaper lately have you?
Virginia is for lovers. EVE is for griefers.
Unfortunately, the words that only cost $5 when our parents were young now cost $20. Inflation sucks.
God invented whiskey so the Irish would not rule the world.
"there are 6.5 billion people in this world"
The real number is much closer to 7 billion by now.
Is this the kind of idiot we're handing out degrees to these days?

Didn't your mother ever teach you never to pass on an opportunity to alliterate?
... um ... stuff.
My mother made me master multi-syllabic meta-mutterings merely to modify my meandering mental malapropisms and to manipulate my meager mix of mangled messages into a more magnificent maelstrom of mightily meaningful
Don't disappoint your bird dog. Go to the range.

He will discover girls.
