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.'"

...an Olympic grade platitudinous pandering politically correct aphorism.

Didn't your mother ever teach you to not use a $20 word where a $5 word will do? ;)

How about...

"really very silly phrase people only use to make dumb people feel okay."

But then it doesn't sound like something The Penguin (of Batman fame) would say...

Unless he were repeating himself... ...To Killer Croc.

Or, maybe he realizes he's special, but is wise enough not to flaunt it.
