You can have an IQ of 197 for a nominal fee of $500. IQ comes with a commemorative plate and a colorful certificate that will make any office deserving of a genius. Limited quantities available.

Actually, I don't think "Mom and me" is correct either...

It is. He could have said, "After we were tested, the president wanted to meet my mom and me."

The sentence he posted should have read: "My mother and I met the president in person after we were tested."

If you count his father being a genius as well, the denominator becomes even more astronomical.

If his family had IQ's like that, they would be world-renown as a family of geniuses and they would be world-known for being geniuses.

So... This is your father?

This is actually a very good question.

Maybe you should carefully read what that article says.

I read the article closely; the only other person that your grandfather could be is John Knudsen "Jack" Northrop.
And Ufimtsev is Russian and Northrop was American... neither of which is Spanish, Greek, Basque, or French.

No it isn't.

He couldn't have said that, because thats a different sentance with different intent. I doubt the president would want to meet this fellow even if he did have a 197 iq (the president is probably a very busy individual). Also, your sentence has bad form; the pronoun "we" in this sentence is considered hanging/ambiguous. While the sentence is not technically wrong, the generally accepted form is to place pronouns as close to the nouns they describe as possible.

Even saying "After we were were tested, the president, in person, met my mom and me" is clunky at best; there is still the same hanging pronoun problem.

Regardless, the way you commented indicated that you were listing alternatives for the subject of the provided sentence; "my mom and me" is never an appropriate subject. If this wasn't your intent, your communcation isn't clear enough (perhaps due to some of the reasons i've outlined above?)

Any incorrectly spelled words or grammar mistakes you note in my writing are typos, while yours are evidence of gross ignorance.

Brandon jennings will be a bust.

Now that's being a little nit-picky, isn't it? I was clearly writing from the kid's perspective. Maybe, in his mind, the president did want to meet him. Considering his track record, it isn't out of the question.

Also, your sentence has bad form; the pronoun "we" in this sentence is considered hanging/ambiguous. While the sentence is not technically wrong, the generally accepted form is to place pronouns as close to the nouns they describe as possible.

So you're essentially arguing over nothing, then? I never said it was the prettiest sentence ever constructed, just that it contained better grammar than his original statement.

Even saying "After we were were tested, the president, in person, met my mom and me" is clunky at best; there is still the same hanging pronoun problem.

Once again, I never said it was pretty, just that it was better than his original sentence. Would I use said sentence if I was trying to win a Pulitzer? No. Is it good enough for a message board forum? I would hope so.

Regardless, the way you commented indicated that you were listing alternatives for the subject of the provided sentence; "my mom and me" is never an appropriate subject. If this wasn't your intent, your communcation isn't clear enough (perhaps due to some of the reasons i've outlined above?)

"My mom and me" is colloquial, but perfectly acceptable grammar, when used appropriately.

Any incorrectly spelled words or grammar mistakes you note in my writing are typos, while yours are evidence of gross ignorance.

Way to spend an entire post attacking me by nit-picking a fragment of a sentence, and then trying to cover your ass at the very end by stating that any mistakes you may have made are, "Simply typos." It's a really ironic, funny statement. You acknowledge the mistakes you made, yet you're too lazy to correct them? You spend however much time dissecting a sentence fragment for the sole purpose of trying to take me down a peg, yet you can't even be bothered to run spell-check?

Sorry. You were turning this into a grammar forum, and I just wanted to get in on the discussion.

Even saying "After we were were tested, the president, in person, met my mom and me" is clunky at best; there is still the same hanging pronoun problem.

Of course his sentance isn't good enough for a message board forum. Indeed someone with a high IQ must never slip, even possibly in a non native language, must uphold that image of genius unrelentingly, even on a message board.

I don't particularly care to pursue this line, but I bolded the relevant part if you care to reread.

Thanks!

Jennings poor stats in europe were to be expected, considering he's on a pretty talented team; that doesn't make them any less disconcerting though. He's just too unknown as a prospect for us (at least me...I haven't seen him in europe) to dissect, although he DID show off really pretty court vision in the high school all star games.

Star-Lord · Post #151 » by **Star-Lord** » Sun Jun 7, 2009 5:10 am

Wow, way to own up there, cowboy.

If someone is going to go out of their way to mention that they have an IQ of 197, they better be able to at least use acceptable grammar on the regular. Just like if someone is going to go out of their way to try to insult another poster by saying that they're ignorant better be able to at least spell S-E-N-T-E-N-C-E correctly on the regular.

Congratulations, your argument has fallen on it's face twice now.

gswhoopsman · Post #152 » by **gswhoopsman** » Sun Jun 7, 2009 5:26 am

You seem personally offended by his claim.

To be fair, Jennings does seem to have matured a lot in the euroleague...

And to answer the original post, it was widely reported that he was outplaying his well regarded team mates on a regular basis...he clearly has the raw point guard skills to make an impact in the nba. There were inherent biases in the decisions to give him playing time/define his role.

That being said, I just get the feeling that he'll end up a bust...

Star-Lord · Post #153 » by **Star-Lord** » Sun Jun 7, 2009 5:55 am

Nope. Like I've been saying, I've been having nothing but fun with this thread. That is, until you came along and started arguing about nothing.

They were all Good Will Hunting type geniuses. You know, working as janitors and anonymously finishing complex math problems on chalk boards.

Just to make it clear guys, KWSN-Man is really VS-666 from interbasket forum or after he was banned he came back with Basketball player. KWSN-Man is another poster on interbasket but he gives basketball player a really hard time because as you all have seen he likes to make stuff up and never backs it up with a link and yet he claims it is fact. So Basketball player hates KWSN-Man really bad and wants to make him look bad i would think thats why he is parading around here posting such ludicrous stuff under his name, also KWSN-Man is a panathinaikos fan and would never sport an Oly avatar.

Wow. That's sad. No matter the identity, the guy behind KWSN-Men looks dumber by the day.

That means there are about 6 people in the world with an IQ of 197 or greater. We now know that, remarkably, three of them come from the same family.

lol
