    Your IQ?

    I don't think everyone is lying, but I don't think everyone has been honest either. What is your point? Any discussion on the internet about anything is far more beneficial to the reader if the people taking part in the discussion are being truthful about themselves. I know the internet is...

    Your IQ?

    I had already said that IQ is not an accurate measurement of intelligence. It may be deemed as an intelligence test, but there is actually no definite way of measuring intelligence. Therefore, questioning somebody's IQ score is not questioning their intelligence.

    Your IQ?

    You do realise that I said that in jest? I'm not being aggressive, there's no reason why you should be. And at what point did I question people's intelligence? I questioned their IQ score.

    Your IQ?

    You're just jealous of my Snake score. ;) Does anyone play Brain Training or Brain Academy on the DS? Brain Academy is incredibly difficult! I got the brain age of 20 after only a few tries on Brain Training (it's far too easy and repetitive), but I am still stuggling on the Academy. I...

    Your IQ?

    Cynicism tends to be reality, I'm afraid. I would have preferred a more accurate array of answers. It would have made the topic a bit more interesting and satisfying. I didn't say what I said in the hope of painting a better picture of myself, it was written in the hope that the following...

    Your IQ?

    Does everyone actually believe the scores of everyone else? In real life, I only know three people with an IQ of over 130, and yet almost everyone here scores higher than this. IQ is hardly an all round way of measuring intelligence anyway. It's a test designed by white male Americans for...

    Your IQ?

    Wow, you are all so intelligent! Considering the average is 100, this board seems to be full of geniuses! Or liars.

    The Banned and the Banished

    I have read them and have often thought that they would make fantastic films. I do not think that they are the best ever written. They are extremely violent (for my tastes) and the plot is not amazing. I did enjoy the series a lot though, but I think I prefer his new series (Shadowfall and...

    Dan Brown.

    Dan Brown is a terrible writer. He is controversial not just for the content of his books, but controversial for being a best-seller when he writes like a fourteen year old. I read this book because of the hype and was bitterly disappointed. It read like a film script. Chapters were...
