Who is the Greatest Genius Alive Today?

[wanderer99]

[Tizzi24]

Referring back to clanad's story, why is it that very intellectual people do often not know the basics of everyday life?

[MarkRae]

I'm sure it's the old chestnut of street-smart versus book-smart...

[Gromit]

Steve Jobs

[woofgang]

oh yes, genius doesn't mean endowed with common sense, Albert Einstein admitted that!

'Self righteous' should be hyphenated.

Now now, let’s take it easy on MarkRae. We all adopt Internet personas to some degree, and Mark has chosen “pedantic a$$hat” as his. (Clearly, it must be an Internet-only persona, as if he acted like this in real life he would have been beaten to death years ago.)

Besides, how many of the world’s current conflicts exist solely due to poor use of apostrophes? (Koreas/Korea’s; Palestinians/Palestinian’s – need I say more?)

I for one view his comments as performance art of the highest quality. Long may he wave! I look forward to his corrections of the two errors I have made in this comment!

If it's not me,
And it's not thee;
Then it must be the Editor of AB.

[vivandorron]

In support of what I have already said,
There was a time when the Ed was dead.
But miraculously to my suprise,
He resurrected himself from his demise.

Accordingly, as he is again with us,
I am nominating him as a genius.
And if you don't believe what I tell,
Then I suggest you doubters go to...another site. (If you can find one as good as AB.)
