# although with an IQ of 126,
he'll be torn to pieces by his own kind before he reaches puberty.

# this is sadly true
i was considered something of a genius as a child. it wasn't fun.

# I was bullied by the teachers.
(I helped save b3ta! Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Mon 18 Jan 2010, 19:50, archived)
# Heh, so was I!
I made the mistake of correcting one teacher's spelling once, and she never forgave me. Bitch.

# I had one teacher at primary school who had it in for me.
I was sent to the headmaster's office for such things as pretending to play the guitar, looking in a box, and being stabbed in the leg with a pencil.

# me too
but only by one teacher. mum only realised i was telling the truth after exams, when the headmaster called her in. i'd got the highest marks in the school, yet my teacher was trying to say i only deserved a C grade! fortunately, the whole "use it or lose it" thing seems to include intelligence ;)

# I had a couple,
not including the P.E. teachers, who always bully the kids who aren't very good at sports anyway.

but i wasn't allowed to do them after third year

that sounds like bad news :(

the school was being a bit over-cautious as their insurance didn't cover me

# I was once sent to the headmaster
because the English teacher asked me to spell the word "heinous". Unfortunately, the twat pronounced it "anus". Which is what I spelt. Spelled.

# Huhuh huhuhuhuh huhuhuhuh you spelled "anus".
Spelt.

Funnily enough

# on a similar note,
one time our teacher asked if anyone could think of a professional who doesn't have to retire at 65, and one kid said "a prostitute". It was the most intelligent answer I've ever heard him give, and he got into trouble for it.

# Good answer, but at the age of 65
it may possibly be construed as a hobby, rather than a profession. Funny tho'.

# hahaha!
i had a home tutor for a year, she was great! took me to chester with her son. better than the school field trip, we had dinner in a posh french restaurant and got to spend ages in the museum!

# The zoo was good too, although I haven't been there for years.
I remember experiencing untold glee when a posh woman with a camera got covered in rhino piss.
it wasn't your tutor was it?

# not that i know
but i did get half-chewed banana, coated in monkey spittle, hurled in my face. thus began my lifelong hatred of bananas.

Poor bananas.

# I don't really believe in innate genius.
I like the definition that genius takes ten years of dedication to a subject to achieve. I know that this sounds like "experience", but I also don't care.

I was not considered a genius at school, nor was I bullied for my intelligence. But what I do now could be considered to be quite difficult.

# i didn't see what all the fuss was about
it's my belief that i was at a decent level of intelligence, whilst my schoolmates were all thickos.

# They probably were.
I've been depressing myself today again by reading youtube video comments :(

# Some are born great,
some achieve greatness,
and some have greatness thrust upon them.

Mind you, if experience is anything to go by, it's the kids that are declared geniuses at a very young age who end up getting nowhere in life. Ambition gets you further than natural ability.

# ^this
i'm a lazy fucker, i'm not allowed to get a job and i spend my days watching t.v or being on here

# Not allowed to get a job? What would you do if you could?
(I helped save b3ta! The Alchemist king of the needlessly complicated, Mon 18 Jan 2010, 20:18, archived)
# my ideal job
would be in either virology or forensic toxicology.
(I helped save b3ta! Smash Monkey lowering the tone of the whole internet, Mon 18 Jan 2010, 20:20, archived)
# Virology is pretty cool. I saw a book called something like 'the encyclopedia of viruses' in a library.
It had some great line drawings of various viral capsid shapes, all geometric and stuff.

Forensic toxicology could be good, too I suppose. Mass-spec, peak analysis, that sort of thing.

# i've always been fascinated by poisons and viruses
the deadlier, the better. it sounds odd, but i absolutely love the ebola virus, it's an almost perfect killing machine.

# The only thing that keeps it contained is the lack of transport infrastructure where it lives.
That ought to be a lesson for the rest of us. It's pretty awesome stuff.

I'll tell you what else is fascinating. Virophages, prions, and nanobacteria.

but the whole thing has got me interested in the entire subject again.

# True. Motivation, ability to finish tasks, set realistic goals, etc etc. All just as important as IQ, or other similar measures.

# I never had to work hard at anything throughout my entire education, that's my problem.
I'm not accustomed to it. If I'd ever had to struggle to achieve academically, I'd probably have appreciated it a lot more. As it is, the idea of getting good grades just isn't even interesting to me. In all honesty, I'd rather just be normal, and get invited to parties.
