Stories of unsurpassed brillianceThis "Week" The suggestion comes from Kroney who muses
"Whilst I was passing through Miami airport at the tender age of 21, I fancied a beer. "ID" said the charming Southerner behind the desk, so I got out my passport and showed it to her.
"You have to be 21," she said. Now this confused me slightly as I had been 21 for several months by this point and my date of birth was staring her in my face.
"I am 21," I replied helpfully "it says so there, look"
"You have to be 21", she said getting angry.
Cut a long story short, I argued, the manager came out, I argued with him before I finally realised that they weren't looking at the date of birth at all. They were looking at the date of *issue*
That would have made me an annoyingly precocious four year old. What examples of unsurpassed mental genius have you experienced?"""""""

Google EarthWhen Google Earth was newish, in the mid 00's, I was showing it to my wife.
I zoomed into our city, drilled down to our neighbourhood, found our house and zoomed right into the garden.
"Oh, that's amazing!" she said. "Go outside and wave"

This was a common reactionI worked in a small office around that time. The boss insisted on going out, jumping around and waving, when someone showed off Google Earth. My mum reacted the same when I showed it to her.
