Broken Planes & Families, and the number 159

Passenger jet breakes in two! How safe are those planes we ride everyday?

GEORGETOWN, Guyana (AP) — Officials say a U.S. team is expected soon in the South American nation of Guyana to probe the crash of a Boeing 737 jetliner that all 163 people aboard survived.

Authorities so far have given little idea about the cause of Saturday's crash. The Caribbean Airlines plane ran off the end of a runway at Guyana's main airport and broke in two. About 30 people had to be treated at a local hospital, including the pilot.

The airline is largely owned by the government of Trinidad and Tobago and its prime minister has visited the crash site. Kamla Persad-Bissessar says she is worried that the accident will hurt tourism to the Caribbean, a region that depends heavily on the industry.

Frankie might be Kuku, though.

Not to be nasty, but do you think it is likely that they spotted you some points? Did you pay for this test?

Not really, Frankie. You will notice that you didn't even bring up the Aloha Airlines incident. Someone else did. If that incident was ACTUALLY what you you had in mind when you wrote those things and posted this thread, why didn't you mention it sooner? You know, like when it was brought up soon after post #47 instead of post #292?

If Frankie's IQ is 159 then mine is 1100. I'm not even suggesting he's stupid. It's just that I'm that smart. Yes....

What's your #. You seem to be very envious. I'll just say yes they spotted me about 10 points. Hope that makes you feel better. Glad to oblige.

IT WAS NOT NEWS! Did you read that? It was in my mind as an earlier part of a pattern. But I had not anticipated this bullshit from you guys. If I had I would have.

My IQ? 138, IIRC.

You are in good company there though, Frankie. 160 is something like .005% of the population.

Strange that you didn't address this part...

My son tested in the 99 percentile nationally every year in HS in ITBS (Iowa Test of Basic Skills). I don't know if this has much to do with his IQ but he is legit. He also forced me into buying him an ACT software to study for ACT. Much to his father's chagrin He NEVER used it and in fact didn't even study for the test that much. His score? 33, which I believe also ranks in the 98 to 99 percentile.

BTW he is far from a nerd. He is a partier and was also on his HS basketball team and a reserve on the Football team.

I say all this because there are countless people of high IQ out there who never amount to anything and I did not go there in this thread to boast about it. The subject developed because there are some absolute cave man idiots that we share this forum with who always try to look smart by "laughing at" others and personal attacks.

I don't feel any need to convince you or others, and frankly I don't give a 1 ounce shit if anybody is convinced. But since you are dwelling on it I'm telling you. Take it or leave it.

Not at all. I'm sure there's a chance that your son has an IQ that high. Your wife must be really smart.

Because our conversation never went in that direction until recent posts. When you have to read and reply to almost every idiot's thuggery you tend to be thrown off track.
