I would like to propose that future I.Q. tests include the following
question:
"Is it appropriate to post articles asking for money on the net?"
I suspect a 'No' answer to this question would correlate highly with intelegence
thus adding to the reliability of I.Q. measurement.  However:

In article <11148@apple.Apple.Com> grady@apple.UUCP (Grady Ward) writes:
)Recently on the net I've seen a few messages asking for money.  The 
)senders supply such worthy reasons as education, feeding a starving 
)sister, and so on.
)
)Taking advantage of this trend, I would like to ask you all for money, 
)too.
)
	[ discriptions of the good fortune of the Grady Bunch deleted. ]

)Less than a year ago, I founded a Hi-IQ club which now has over 130 
)members around the world, 

I got a recent copy of the society's newsletter (Grady will send you one
if you ask) and, aside from an interesting short piece by weemba, I find
talk.bizarre better written and more informative.  Well, maybe I mean 
more written and better informative?  One article that particularly
bothered me in this journal, a discussion of possible gender bias in I.Q.
measurement, ends by saying that "only time and extensive research will prove"
whether or not, if a cognative "difference exists" beteween men and women,
"... it [can] truly be used as a marker of superiority in the hierarchical 
ranking of peoples".  Sounds bizarre to me.  If one rates high enough in
the hierarchical ranking of peoples, one is entitled to disrupt newsfroups
at will asking for spare change.  Since I rate really high in the h.r. of p.
too, I am continuing the disruption by not removing any of the froups of the
original posting.  Any of you folks who also rate high in the h. r. are invited
to join me.  And bring your lawn darts.
