I know we have a lot of really educated people here. I think we might be able to solve all world ignorance together (okay, really a good portion of Generalite ignorance).

So, what do you know that other people should?

I know how to escape from straitjackets. :)

It's like putting a bunch of monkeys inside a room with typewriters in it to create a Great American Novel.

welll i know how to make raised doughnuts. thats an important human skill. but im not giving that one away!

here's something i know that the "who is smart" thread reminded me of.

you need to treat everyone with respect, even the stupid people.

when you are in school and other academic settings intelligence is given too much weight as to a persons worth. this can lead you to start to discount the feelings and worth of those who are obviously of "normal" intelligence.

the same is true of those who think that making far more money that the average guy makes them worth more as a person.

when you treat other people like idiots or peons they will get you back for it. they might be stupid or poor but that wont stop them from spitting in your food when you arent looking. or cutting down your favorite tree "on accident". or telling everyone about your embarrassing sexual fetish.

I know how to make a flashpot from items found in any hardware store. I also know how to design and make a dress. I know how to organize a fancy dinner for 800 VIPs. I once raised $69,000 for a charity with one throw away idea. I have a really good recipe for steamed clams. I am pretty good at reading maps. I know how to scuba dive.

Welcome to NSG, Ms. Vera Wang.

I know how to dry, straighten and generally do my hair in 20 minutes. Impressive if you ask me....:cool:

what else... no Pakistan/ England cricket tour will pass without controversy.

Stupidity is a disease. Treat the stupid, moronic and ignorant with the disdain they deserve.

I know how to escape from straitjackets. :)

I know how to put someone IN a straitjacket. Maybe we should get together some time.

I know how to figure skate....that's basically where it ends with me:p

QFT. (and are you sure you won't share about the doughnuts?) ;)

Now, how stupid is that?



I do know we're all really self centered idiots, though...You really only have to read this topic to notice it.

I know how to put someone IN a straitjacket. Maybe we should get together some time.

I know how to straitjacket someone too. I work as an orderly at a long term care facility, we get some pretty screwed up people. LG is outnumbered 2 to 1, I believe.

Wow! I know how because I was an assistant in a magic show. I also know how to not get stabbed inside a sword box. And I know where the rabbit disappears to.

Well, don't just sit there, tell us!

Is it the original rabbit? Or a stand it for the beaten to a bloody pulp one (... I watched The Prestige...)

Sorry, I was sworn to secrecy not to reveal how the trick is done. Suffice it to say that the rabbit is not usually very happy about it (though no permanent damage is done) and the cleanup really sucks.

"It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times?" Stupid monkey!

(though no permanent damage is done)

... that alone gives the idea to an army of vengeful homicidal magical rabbits running around town.

Hence the need for straightjackets. :p

So, thinktank to homicidal straighjacketed magical rabbits in two pages. Gotta love NSG.

That rabbit's dynamite!

(I'm glad they don't get killed, though... and I imagine rabbit poo gets everywhere.)

I could write some music for our thinktank.

Useful?I'm not too sure about that. I know almost everything there is to know about cats. (except most the surgical stuff) I know the taxanomic names to almost all species of cat. Panthera Leo.Panthera Onca.Panthera Pardus.Acinynax Jubatus.Felis Silvestris. I won't list all 37.

I used to know every club in downtown Austin. Not so much anymore. I've been in almost every psychiatric ward in both Central Texas and Central Oklahoma. So LG will have someone else on his side.

But basically,unless you're a stray cat,I'm useless.

Someone has to be the crazy cat lady.

Someone has to be the crazy cat lady.My mother always said I should do something that makes me happy and that I'm good at.

They should know that thinktanks, especially political ones, are evil.

Think tanks are le stupid.

Have you been to Griffin Memorial? it was pretty nice, they had ice cream.

also, why does my cat bite me? it's not hard, but he does it sometimes and it's unpleasant.

I know how to make a fool of yourself and get away with it for 23 years :)

I know how to escape from straitjackets. :)

That's fairly relevant information right now - how would that work?

Also, picking locks, escaping from a high-security institute etc,

Wait...are you prisoner 564?

I know where I left my keys.

:D
Absitively, posolutely.

and a :D x2 for that.

My contribution?
Well, i'm well practiced in tangental theme application, and can find a disturbing or confusing corollary to most topics.

Anything else, i'm not sure about.

I know my back account number and password, but I'm not telling.

I can cook, shoot, wait, think and fast, as well as remember everything I read.

Do you mean there that you go for a while without ingurgitation?

That's more than most people can say of themselves.

The secret to being a great teacher is to keep your students entertained with a wide-ranging knowledge of the bizarre and the obscure, while arranging the lecture prompts so as to let them think they came up with all the important things on their own.

:p

I gravitate towards not putting a comma after the word preceding 'and' in a list.

That was on Futurama!

When you do things right, people won’t be sure you’ve done anything at all.

Ah, gotcha.

That was on Futurama!Cool.

I was just compared to God. :D

(I love that episode. I love that show.)

This depends greatly upon what you are teaching. Some subjects, such as foreign languages, do not lend themselves to the "self discovery" method. Here the secret to being a great teacher still involves having available an archive of the ridiculous and obscure, with which to amuse and entertain the students whilst transmitting the content desired for the class. :p

The point is that the harder you "try" to "teach" by cramming content down their throats, the harder it will be actually to accomplish.

I think the ideal reaction to any class is, "I'm surprised how much I learned in that class."

Cool.

(I love that episode. I love that show.)

You mean i served a legitimate purpose on ... of all things ... a THINKTANK thread? :D

Yeah, i loved that episode too. Made my mom watch it.
Can't wait for the comeback.

Ah, gotcha.

Besides, all literate people should understand the 'think, wait, fast' reference.

We are all free and every man woman and child is a Pope.

Especially considering that some of our posters are hare today, gone tomorrow.

Don't judge me! :p

I know everything there is to know about aviation, history, The Matrix Trilogy as well as the Universe, I am very frugal with money so I can help our national debt. Of course that would mean I'd most likely cut 70% of our government, which I probably would've done anyways if I was elected President. Oh and I also know how to point out idiots mistakes in the crudest fashion ever!

I also know how to keep a Siamese cat happy, everything there is to know about the Paranormal and I can talk about any religious or philosophical topics. *nods*

I'm majoring in Civil Engineering!

You're majoring in squat!

Shutup! I'm also interning for a General Contractor.

Yeah, I bet you push around paper and coffee all day... must be hard

GAH! I'm also a 3.7 student in college.

Oh, and is there any room for a schizophrenic? :p

Dunno 'bout the other stuff, but i *know* this one'll get ya brownine points 'round here.
'specially if ya got pix.

Hehe, Amelia is sleeping on my bed right now beside me (laptop) and she's pretty happy with her life here. The only time she isn't happy is when I have to punish her for being a bad kitty, but I usually make it up with her by giving her treats and she's happy again. :)

Well, I know a whole lot about Warhammer (of all kinds). Like I caught that German Nightmare fellows refrence. Oh, and Star Trek. And Star Wars. Oh, and I'm a decent Offensive Lineman. If those arn't all increadibly usefull skills, I don't want to be usefull.:D

I can install sprinklers!

*dramatic pose*

Once upon a time thinktanks were a objective and apolitical source of information, unfortunately partisanism has crept in and their not reliable anymore.

Oh, and is there any room for a schizophrenic? :p

On NSG?

Part and parcel, methinks.

Besides, that's a twofer, or threefer, or even, in Seth's case for example, 15 or morefer!
