^If you're stupid enough to jump in lion's enclosure at a zoo, you deserve to be removed from the gene pool.
Whereas I don't particular think it's fair to throw a goddamn grenade at an animal that reacted to your brother's profoundly retarded antics.

Well it's not like they're hurting it. I would guess that they know it's nearly impossible it has swine flu, but better to be on the safe side, even if those precautions do nothing.

Seriously, WTF?
What kind of sick prick throws a grenade at an animal like that?DeadCry
In his defense, it did kill his brother. It's harder to be understanding of the impulses of animals after something like that happens.

Sad. a couple of weeks ago a couple of cops in Newfoundland who should have known better arrested an autistic 18 year-old for being "drunk" in public and threw him in the drunk tank. I think the mother is pressing charges against the officers.

The IQ of children are measured a different way than that of the adults. I went to a weekend course years ago (for six years), the leader was also member of the Mensa. We did there IQ tests, one of them showed mine was around 170, but this data slowly decreased as the years passed by.
 
And why do they mention, that she knows 35 capitals? That is knowledge, not intelligence (however, a great result from such a small child.
yeah

Probably won`t work. It`s about a 2 year old kid in England who became the youngest member of MENSA with an IQ of 156.


She should sit down and talk with Stephen Hawking. I wonder how they tested her?
