It didn't automerge double/triple post so I did it manually. Please delete posts 86 & 87 made by me, and let me know how I'm supposed to do it. I'm thinking I'm disabled here.

Fixed.

He's not disabled, just mentally gifted. I think that might be the same as being special.

Speaking of special. It's someone's special day. Happy birthday Squeamous. I'd make a thread about it but I don't do that sort of thing.

How's it feel to be 31? I turned 30 at the start if the year and I didn't like it at all.

Kind of like the Rainman? He can count all the matches in a matchbox on sight but can't tie his own shoelaces?

Thanks ! ^_^
It's not so bad. I'm more immature now than I've ever been. Obviously being one year closer to dying sucks, but apart from that it's one more year of wisdom and experience as far as I'm concerned. Have you gotten over the shock yet?

Being a genius and being perceived by those around you in a paradoxical manner is a much more complicated existence than matches vs. shoelaces. If you're actually interested, I'll give you examples that aren't reduced to popular film references. It's most commonly seen as over-thinking an issue, to the point that it appears to escape common sense. The illusion fascinates the simpler minded.
edit: of course this wasn't implying that such a fictional character was a genius, just a paralleled example of perception.

macky- are you a dupe account for Rings, or is there another happy-with-self soul among us?

The last one, and I truly do evaluate myself to a high regard, I just play up my humility here.
Curious, did you only intend to compare, or did you think it really is a dupe account (in which case, wouldn't you ask, "Rings is macky a dupe account of yours")? He's also a scientist, maybe you could generalize the perception of superegos.
but I've been mjmacky on forums for a long time... Ring Select <--- I got that one from trial and error, and it took awhile to figure what it did.

I get a feeling it could have been funnier if it was only 20 seconds long, like this one:
