You must have meant "His grammar and English are so terrible," am I right?

His Grammar and English is so terrible he must have dropped out of school to work on his material.

Mine too!

So he got his IQ from a test in the back of Omni magazine? Uh... I consider IQ tests to be a bit subjective to begin with... one in the back of a magazine which appeals to UFO/conspiracies theoriests, yeah... not so much.

He's certainly articulate, but listening to him, he's just an asshole with some vocabulary.

To me Genius means someone who has contributed a unique/innovative idea to society. The difference between this guy and Darwin, Einstein and everyone else that he compares himself arrogantly to is that they actually produced something, where as he WORKS IN A BAR.

I'm not saying that working in a bar makes you worthless, but it doesn't make you Darwin or Einstein either.

Edit: went back to check... yup, he self-administered the IQ test as well. Yeah... I'm sure that is worth something.

Edit 2: So I went on Wikipedia to see what it said there and it was kind of equivocal. Seems this guy was a bit more popular back in 1999 and has been administered some real IQ tests (the validity of them I'm still skeptical of).

Nevertheless, the one thing that comes across is that he's got a serious attitude problem and it doesn't necessarily translate into his "genius." Dropping out of school because "he knew more than his professors" and similar comments make me think that he's QUITE concerned with the marketing aspects of being the "Smartest Man In America." The reality is that he doesn't work in a bar anymore, he did that briefly. He's married to a doctor and runs a horse farm and as far as I can tell, his biggest hobby is promoting himself.

Edit 3: reminds me of Howard Stern's campaign to call himself the "King of all Media"

Lets take a step back.
Is it fair that your father the doctor can charge hundreds of dollars an hour for consultation - basically sitting on his ass and giving an opinion...
... when a working class family has to work 2-3 jobs, work 16 hour days just to get enough to keep a house over their head and food in their children's mouth.
He deserves it because he got educated? How is it fair that his parents were rich enough for him to get that education when others have to drop out of school to work simply to live?

He probably paid for those 13 years of Uni with loans and grants subsidized by tax money.

Should have told the stuck up little priss that Daddy could be a doctor in Europe that makes 80,000$ a year, and really does pay nearly 60% in taxes. It's disgusting that someone so young can already be so greedy.

and zifnab.....I was worried I would have no dirt on you, and low-and-behold, the story of your parents attempt, to erase their genetic contribution to the planet entirely, by running naked into BC, away from "civilization", if you can call Canada in the sixties and seventies that....I can see you running around the living room (school bus), with your tally-whacker swinging back and forth, like a flesh-sickle pendulum, in front of a ripe plum. It is refreshing to know, that you had a solid reason for dropping out of school. The Internet. Now that you have a premier,tenured, chair-shaping position at university (hoser think-tank) the future is no doubt brighter, for your own kid, zinfab jr.

So dotdude......did this thing shape up like it should have?? Of course, ya performed lie a true coonass, tripping over craw-dad mounds to run away, as soon as the waterfront changed......Folk art is a big deal in LA, and galleries like the laundry mat , the dockside bar, and the bait shop, are all splattered with the, "thousand points of smudge", finger-paintings, DD has to offer, those true seekers, of the gifted and talented color, in the land of hand-made dikes,
drive-through likker stores, and Chocolate City Mayors. Any deceased family members returning with the spring floods next year????

Her goal in life is to drop out of school and be on Girls Gone Wild. Holy Shit.
