Ever have a friend call you to discuss his theory on black holes?
A-yep, it actually happened to me today- I have a client-turned-friend who got in at Mensa a couple years back, and now thinks he knows all about all (but for some reason he still can't figure out the directory structure on his computer). We've talked basic physic before, and I guess he had a wee bit of spare time on his hands 'cause I got the call this afternoon.

Oh, I don't mind- I'm complimented that I apparently impress him enough that he wants to chat with me about life, the universe, and everything. But still, such a call out of the blue is a bit... shall we say "bizarre".

But then again, so am I. :rofl:

1. My dear Prisoner_Number_Six!
Oh, come on!

You are not either bizarre!

And I can say that with conviction, since I've been privileged enough to actually talk to you!

So there!

Your friend sounds bizarre, though!:crazy:


Come vote in my poll, would you? :)

2. His yolk has definitely cracked.
And I DID vote- I chose #1. That's you perched way up at the top, isn't it?

LOL! I took all those pictures!

I'm not in any of them, silly!

4. Black hole theory requires a working knowledge of Quantum
Mechanics. So, let me get this straight-the dude got into
Mensa, fine. But he can't figure out his computer directory?

Next time, ask him about the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principal.
Again, Quantum Mechanics. THAT should blow a fuse or two!

:rofl:
