IQ tests yeah, I do them when I'm bored surfing the web.
Just a moment... is a free one (quick one) but I had to give a fake email address, to avoid them sending me their junk. It seemed to score me as Einstein. Lol, (trust me this has gotta be wrong!). (don't use the account babafruitcake@gojohnnygogogogo.com) I think they're all dodgy though cos I've done about 15, and my scores have ranged from 80 to 140. (?) So how can I know my real score? I suspect that 70 = Lam-inator 150 = Regular evc genius. 200 = Einstein. 1000 = Omniscience. 1 billion = Brad Mcfall. here's some estimated IQ's from the wiz tank; BRrhain = 160Brad = Light year Shraff = 22  Crashfrog = 12 Asgara = - 10. All Jesus believers = 300. This message has been edited by mike the wiz, 09-06-2004 07:59 PM

Haha, no probs.
162? - Are you sure you can't see fifth dimensionally? Or are you a closet Einstein? I got 140 if I remember correctly.
I still haven't done the "exceptional intelligence" test Oh I'm far too frightened of that one, I'd rather comfort my ego and do the easy ones and convince myself they're tough.  Us mere mortals Tony - who don't get posted for poster of the year, need some ego comfort.

I doubt the accuracy of these online tests. On some scales, a score like that would place me above Stephen Hawking, and somehow I don't think that's the case Lol. I guess you have a point. As for fifth dimensions, I have trouble imagining two.
Frankly, there are people on this forum that make me feel like an idiot. Now, I realize that much of this is due to the difference between their and my education and not necessarily intelligence Well, yes, an IQ test can only tell you so much I suppose. I think it is one aspect of intelligence. But then, you might just be good at IQ tests. Either way, ur not a monkey so be grateful.
You know what I'd be interested in seeing? Brad's score on one of these. Seriously. I know we kid about him but I am actually quite curious how he would go. Perhaps that's just me. Just as long as the answers are there for him to choose from eh, I don't think the computer could handle his response. It would *sizzle* and say "Unnacceptable, cannot compute, no omniscient buffer in place" .
Or even better yet, a test designed and written by Brad. Can you imagine that? I would project an IQ of about 20 for myself, and that's allowing for the questions that I accidentally get right Haha. You would have to swallow a library before taking this test. Honestly tho, I do think Brad will have a high IQ. I think Brad deserves a "Brad dimension" of his own eh, cos he seems to transcend the mortal dimension.

As I stated previously, I believe that true intelligence is not what you know, but how well (how quickly, easily, etc) you adapt to what you don't know. Give someone a puzzle, the methodology of which they've been taught, and they solve it; that shows education. Give someone a puzzle, the likes of which they've never encountered, and they solve it; that shows intelligence. This does NOT bode well for me. I declare your babble most unacceptable!
Also, you say five-dimensional; I assume this is because you're including a temporal dimension as well. That's quite alright; I just wanted to be clear that as far as spatial dimensions go, I'm only focusing on four, for the time being. Hey Tony, you've lost me. I read your topic about dimensions and believe me, I'm uselessly avoiding such a thread. All you need to know is that mike got 140, and that the IQ test we took is the hardest one ever, even Einstein scored 100 on it.
You know what? I think I just had an epiphany. Perhaps this is what Einstein meant when he said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge." I've never considered that before! Phew, there is hope. I do have an imagination, and vivid dreams. Lucid dreaming is also fun. Oh that reminds me, is sleep to enter another dimension? (Tony rant, incoming )....lol.....Anway, I like art, does this mean I'm intelligent?? *hopes*...cos I do like painting.
As I said before, knowledge doesn't make one intelligent, but I do believe that Brad has both. At the very least, he has some knowledge; of that I am quite confident He was modest and said he has specialised knowledge. *Yeah right*.

Tony - I have taken a few things that you said from another topic - as I enjoy our exchanges - as I have enough fire thrown at me at this forum - so our talks are more enjoyable, so keep your baba good - lest I spank it.
Also - this is on topic as I think it is far more intelligent to have productive discussions with friendly babas rather than heated diatribes with evil Dan's.
As I said, though, I'm really not suited to moderating. My personality simply wouldn't allow it. I'd have to be called AdminWeakAss. LOL. Me too, I'd hate having to be mean and crabky and unfair and bad tempered, like Moose (only kiddin' moose). Seriously though Tony - I do think you are a good poster - even if you think you'd make a bad admin - but it's not all bad as you beat me in those IQ tests. Maybe you can be my new evc buddy --> Unseul was my last buddy - he said that I am on earth for his enjoyment - which I find amusing.
I know I'm too sensitive, but I've always been so, and it doesn't look like changing any time soon. Things seem to affect me on a much deeper level than others. Either that or I simply lack their ability to shrug things off. Well - that's a good trait in my view - rather than being some big dumb angry bull - full of agressive spunk. ROFLMAO. On to other things now,(digging into Tony's lengthy rant )
I love lucid dreams! I haven't had one of those for a while either but I think I've just become lazy. I was working on having them a year or two back, with some degree of success. I'd already had them before but never "on purpose." Me too - I find they never happen purposefully - but I've had a few fascinating ones - In one - I created a lake with trees, stars etc, - and it was the same as earth - and very vivid, but I could defy gravity. It's good when you are dreaming and then "realize" you are dreaming - but unfortunately - becoming conscious like this makes me wake up pretty soon afterward.
Noooooo, don't avoid it! By all means, jump in! Don't worry about not being an expert...I'm certainly not. Honestly - I enjoyed reading your dimensions thread but haven't much to add despite a whipping and spanking from you - forcing me into it nearly. Only kiddin'
I like art, too. Especially nudes...*cough*...but enough about my artistic tastes. Did you see my baba avatar? I painted it - I am a keen painter. I've done about 40 landscapes. I might submitt them to show you if it is on-topic. No - only kidding - I won't bore you with it. By the way - did you render that cofee and saucer? Exellent! Have to go now - I'm out of rant gas.

Forgive my late replies.
Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised to find that people in the "real world" didn't continue where my schoolyard chums had left off. Sure the "real world" has more than its share of jerks, too, but I've come across nowhere near the frequency or severity of the living nightmare I had to endure every day of my life, throughout school. It's strange you mention this - as I recently seen the British film called Scum. - it was disturbing and shocking and never ceases to amaze me, at how wicked people can be, and children aswell. I am so sorry you endured a nightmare Tony - unfortunately it comes down to survival almost - in these situations, maybe one day - we won't have legal prizons that we call school. Incompetence by default - is how I find the teacher to be. But I don't blame them - because they are not omni-present. Anyway - I'm glad you're through this and it's all over. I will pray that peace will be your future blessing, and I suppose that's no big deal if you are an unbeliever - but have it so that I may pray anyway, and don't be offended that I pray for you! (And - no - you didn't sound conceited)
Ack! I hope this isn't coming off as a total ego stroke. That truly isn't my intention. You have to understand that for someone who didn't have any good friends in school (but plenty of enemies), it's an extremely weird experience to suddenly find oneself being treated so well, by so many. For me - it boils down to morals - most intelligent people have them, but the wicked have malnutrition - and are starving for morals. I have known many people - believers/none-believers -(thy're both equally capable and incapable), and they have been of very good morals, and of some basic decent human nature. I think - hopefully, that most people are this way. But when you have a lot of people - you also get some wicked people - who are your enemy. I also didn't have many companions in school - I feared an enemy who was three times my size - and spat upon us. But I found that when I befriended him - his morals concerning me were changed. So - even the wicked have good in them, but their "front" will not reveal this truth.
I honestly can't decide whether or not it's a good thing that such emotional weakness and inability to handle confrontation should be interpreted as "politeness" or "a lovely personality" I think that it is meekness or humility - which are validly humble traits which are good. "The meek shall inherit the earth" (forgive my believer input). But you shouldn't look upon this as weakness - I often find that a bully with a big mouth, is neither a bully - nor a big mouth on his own. And so, many are more timid than they know - and I also confess that I can get upset in debate - and also would not confront someone. But this is not weak - nor wicked.
I hope this rant didn't seem like one big ego trip, or a "Waah...I've had such a horrible life!" whine. That sincerely was not how I meant it. No - I enjoy reading a rant written for me. "Baba" is slang for "baby" in Liverpool - which is where I am from. In short - mike is as batty as a fruitcake - and sees everyone as a baba.
I would like to think that I'm a friendly poster, but on a forum intended for debate, I'm not sure if that equates to a good poster As ever - your logic is correct, and so - it seems that this might make you a good poster - aswell as a friendly one.
Well, I'm sure it was funny, but I'm afraid you lost me. "A whipping and spanking"? "Forcing you into it nearly"? Sorry, I must be having one of my many "slow days." Tony, really now - u must know that mike is a nut by now. Okay - thanks for the read concerning lucid dreams - it was intereseting, and I think that is quite rare for you to have that ability to go back to your dream like that! Here's my baba painting of me aged one, and I have to go now, I'm out of typing gas.
Dictionary writes; Baba - " A leavened rum cake, usually made with raisins." Lol. This message has been edited by mike the wiz, 10-24-2004 02:33 PM

Thank you, Mike. That means a lot, really. I wish the nightmare had ended when I left the mental and physical abuse of school behind, but I'm afraid it just ceased to be an external nightmare and became an internal one which, in some areas, has turned out to be much, much worse. I'm so displeased to hear this - I can only hope that those internal turmoils have now ceased - and that your peace may be as a river.....
Now, you may be tempted to think that I've exaggerated a little or embellished the facts to make him sound worse than he actually was, but I swear on my life, this is EXACTLY what this guy's classes were like! Ha. This teacher story was funny - it's coincidendental - that I had a biology teacher - though it was a "she". And in her lessons - we opened a biology book - and copied it untill the lesson ended. Lol.
And no, I'm not offended by your prayers. I understand the spirit they're offered in and I appreciate the compassion. Thanks - And also - concerning those wicked ones who had evil come upon you - my only hope for them is that their sin wasn't so great - otherwise I then fear for those people! This is because I believe we will have to account for every idle word and action we do in this life. ( I am guilty of more believer input)
For some reason, I seem to have (and always have had) a sense that, at their core, people are good. Now, obviously there are exceptions. I've come across a select few people in my life that, as far as I can tell, are completely unreachable. However, I think (and hope) that most people would prefer to be a source of good. This is also my assumption at times. But then - I must ask "Am I so good"? Maybe we don't realize our badness - and assume we are basically good. But ofcourse - I also hope for this.
Man, I wish I could have done that. But I'm afraid the guys that harassed me were far too malicious for that to be an option. The first day back at school, one year, we were settling in our new homeroom and one of the guys who had given me a really hard time for the entirety of the previous year picked the desk right in front of mine. He turned around with that conniving smirk of his and said, and I quote, "So, back for another year of it, eh, Tony?" All I can hope for now - is that his plans didn't come to pass - and you were spared from the hands of that wicked persons! Ofcourse - no hoping will effect what has previously happened, but yet I hope.
Well, perhaps so. I can't help but wonder, though, if I would still be as "meek" and "humble" today if I hadn't had the confidence literally beaten out of me at school. Well, we all have scars I suppose - in a way - we always are who we always have been. I personally think that your good traits render a victory over those wicked people you had to suffer - and I wonder why you had to suffer this evil - and why it came upon you.
My pronunciation may have been throwing me off getting the meaning, too. I've been saying, "bah-buh" (rhymes with "lava"...when said in an Aussie accent ). Is this correct or is the first syllable also a short "uh" sound? That is, "buh-buh" (like saying the first syllable of "bubble" twice in rapid succession)? Perhaps it's something else altogether? Tony - you've made my day, as I thought I would never have a conversation about how to pronounce baba. Lol, I'm so chuffed. it is infact none of those (buh-buh - lol) - forgive me, but I am an engishman - words very much amuse me. It is pronounced like if you were going to say "bat - bat" quickly, only without the "t" --> " ba-ba ". Or like saying "bank" twice without the "nk". I hope you find the word amusing like I do, lol - as it's connection is cute when matched with babies, and I love the lil cutie babas so I do...Okay - you can lock me up now for being a nut.
Well, yeah...but we wouldn't have you any other way. I mean, anyone who refers to themself in the third-person...heh, just kidding. Haha..well - technically I'm as batty as a fruitcake... Well, I admitt to not having the same rant power as you, so my post is maybe not as lengthy as yours,.....So just a few more things;
Aw...little Mikey! So cute! So this is the one you were referring to? Well, very nice work! Ahaha - thanks, there's nothing better than a babas joy I think you'll find. Just as long as you don't eat me - thinking me a cake...but then - I admitt my cheeks were cute enough to eat.

Tony - forgive my late reply.
Then last year, everything fell to pieces, once more. In fact, 2003 was probably the most painful year I've ever endured. It all started going wrong very early and continued throughout, like a chain-reaction of disastrous events. It really took its toll on me, and to this day, I still haven't recovered. To be completely honest, for a solid eighteen months now, I really haven't been the same. Well.....that's the problem with humans - we cannot remove mental images sometimes - or rid memories. I hope you can overcome them. I have had similar experiences (but not as bad)...and time does seem to help heal..I hope that will be the case for you. Am I guessing you recently left school - as in, a few years ago? I'll guess your age - 25?.
Still, I don't think any of the people that harassed me ever actually wanted to kill me...where's the fun in that? Oh no, they wanted me to live; the longer I lived, the longer they could make me suffer. Well, this is the prevailent attitude amongst these bizarre individuals... I'm glad it wasn't THAT bad for you.
A friend once told me that I'm the most sensitive male in the world What - in every way? Even if the wind blows?
He'd say, "You know, Tony, they say that if you stand up to bullies they'll leave you alone. Why don't you try and stand up to me, huh?" Well, it might have something to do with the fact that you're a foot taller than me and outweigh me by 30 kilos. He damn-well knew there was no way I was going to stand up to him. These kind of evil traits don't impress me to be honest. I mean 0 he must have been all meat and no brain cells. Cos normal humans who are meaty giants, usually wouldn't use that against someone - which is, well - kind of pathetic and cowardly.
I guess you owe me a favour now, huh? *cough* Just kidding Honestly Tony, you're OBSESSED with dimensions, I promise I'm a chump who knows nothing about them.
Indeed. Life was certainly easier then, that's for sure. A line from a movie (Look Who's Talking, perhaps?) springs to mind; "We spend the first nine months trying to get out, and the rest of our lives trying to get back in." Of course, there are several different ways to interpret that. ROLMy azz off. Incest.
did people mistake you for a cake often when you were a baba? Well, they certainly pinched my cheeks hard enough. No not those ones you naughty boy.

So true. To this day, I still have the dreams. They won't leave me alone. They're almost uncontrollable - I had them for a while, with the same person bothering me again and again, it gets better with time, and the mind eventually places that person in a less important manner - as it should.
I hope so, too. I lost a lot of very special people last year, in a multitude of ways, and the pain just doesn't seem to go away. Sorry to hear that Tony, I hope things get better for you. As for these bullies - I hope you can rid them from your mind. Try to place them in context - they have no right to continue to get to you. Christ said to not fear those who can kill the body - and then do no more harm. Realize that their harm to you is OVER! And they have NOT succeeded.
Ooookaaaay. This is obviously a joke but I'm afraid I'm too dumb to get it (or too tired *yawns*). Well, when the wind blows - the other Tony is stiffened in the cold. As for dimensions. I promise I know nothing of them, and honestly participate in too many threads as it is, lol, I can't think of dimensions as interesting me that much as I am a lune *Tony logic*.....and so - they just confuse me. Lol Okay, don't waste rants on me - I'm terrible in that I am not a great "responder". Forgive my lack of input but I still enjoy reading!

Very, very bad dreams. Not nightmares, you understand; "bad" dreams. Painful, agonizing, suffocating, paralysing dreams. My mind seems determined to make me keep reliving things over and over again Ever tried meditation, as prescribed by Tuvok from Star trek voyager? ...No seriously though - I tried meditation and positive thinking once, it does work. That, mixed with Bruce Lee philosophy. Man, I love Bruce Lee. AM I ranting here?
The "other" Tony? Erm...alright I'm even more confused now than I was before. Sorry mate, I know I'm going to feel like a total dork when I finally get it but I'm afraid I still don't. You're so sensitive, that when the wind blows, the other Tony becomes vertical. *It's rude*. (Sorry, I'm very bad).
I'll teach you! Heh, as if I'm an expert on the topic Funnily enough Tony, I had a dream - believe it or not, that you were actually teaching me how to see other dimensions. You'd worked it out from this whacking great big machine that folded and twisted, and was hexagon-like. Ofcourse, it was a silly dream, following the lines of the folding metal made me "see" another dimension, Lmao..Like with those 3D pictures mission of truth mentioned.
They...don't... They... ...don't... ...interest you? ... BLASPHEMY!! ROFLAMAO. I'm excommunicated from the dimensional brethren, and pope Tony, who worships Lord Rrhain.
Honestly, though, the basic principles are fairly simple, it's their logical consequences that enter the realm of the mind-bending Tony, I'm a slow guy of average IQ, who's easily confused. Now, rant - cos I do enjoy them. And I see on the bottom of the "list all topics" page, that you lurk online a lot. Lol. Tony the lurker. PS. Sorry for being away so long.

Lol. I actually remember that episode of voyager you mentioned. Tuvok's the best character IMO.
and Bruce was in a league all his own. I agree there. I especially like his films, Way of the dragon and the Big Boss. His skill was just extraordinary.
...well...never heard it referred to as "Tony." Another Liverpool expression, baba? Ahaha, actually I just picked it up - don't know where.
Our ability to physically see (as opposed to mentally see) higher dimensions is actually something I've addressed elsewhere. If you're interested, I describe what I think we would "see" if cast into 4D space, Thanks, I enjoyed the part about a 1d critter, lol. Ofcourse, when it comes to these things, I hardly understand. In the visual IQ test, I fail miserably.
Haw haw! The Fellowship of Logic and Dimensionalism. Rrhain is the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of thy mathematical ignorance, out of the house of confusion. Thou shalt have no other dimensional gurus before Him. Lol. And thou shalt obey the commands of Tony, his Highpriest - and follow the dimensional discourse thread untill thou dost die the death of boredom. (Awww...only kiddin' baba).
Argh! I wanna see! Lol, we know Tony - WE KNOW!!!!!! - but I'm hopelessly helpless with this dimension lark,. but the dream was good. Which makes me think - is cyberspace another dimension? Because in my dream, you were not a physical being - I just was "aware" of you, as I don't know how you physically are. Lol.
Incidentally, you say you've seen that I "lurk online a lot"...does the "Currently online" list actually clock your time on the forum or something? I think if you log on, the system then detects your online activity perios. I see your name on the list a lot though. Interestingly - I seen Sylas's name there - so if my hypothesis is right, he logged on for a time at this forum... Hmmmmm. *Columbo mode*. BTW - I honestly do only register as average in IQ's. Thanks for the welcome back. Regards, mike.
