Here's the thing, Kurben: I know many people with a lot of knowledge in their heads on certain subjects, but no one with as broad a range of interests, coupled with the ability to take complex information and make it understandable to someone without background in the field. You can do that. Smarts, with the ability to synthesize what you know is intelligence, in my book. That makes you the most intelligent person I know :)

Had one American car (someone talked me into it against my better judgment)--fell apart. Hated it.
I learned to always buy foreign cars. I've had 4 Mazdas and have been happy with all of them.
No major problems with any, except that American mechanics are afraid to touch them, even for small maintenance issues...
I'm very particular about performance and speed--foreign cars seem to outdo American in most cases.

Good call. We bought my wife a Hyundai Santa Fe after the Focus blew up and it's performed flawlessly.

  1. I can think of a couple of good ones by him: "Imagination is more important than knowledge." and "If you want you child to be intelligent, read him fairy tales. If you want him to be more intelligent, read him more fairy tales." :)

wish I could remember what it was. just now tried a search engine. "the true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination." could be it...thought the radio program said something about "spiritual intelligence." half-listening, slinging mud. they have this guy about nine o'clock, sounds like Paul Harvey, narrates a long thing...was listening close, or trying to do so today, as I wanted to hear him sign off. had the volume turned up, empty house, muddin drywall, so it sounds like an echo chamber. need someone with all their hearing intact...heard the name but I'm not much good, hey? And what did the defendant say, Mr Oobleck? Someone doesn't stand up and object I may have to do so myself. Answering machine, same way...potential customer calls...I call back, Lloyd? No, Sheila. Just got back from an estimate run to Ontonagon...sheesh...talk about cross purposes and miscommunication. We got it ironed out, though...I think.

I noticed you said something about UNIX - I found this fish at the car wash recently - it was one of those magnetic things you attach to the back of your vehicle:

Do you know what it means?
