Any Mensa members here?
 
Just curious

Start working on your sprinkler heads . . .they'll show up
Shank a ball off the tee . . . you're probably golfing with one
Work on your golf cart motor or batteries ... you'll find a couple

I agree with aln, sort of. You'll find many highly intelligent people here, whether they belong to Mensa or not.

Watch the Thursday Daily Sun activity guide for meeting days and times.

I thought the Mensa meetings were only held on Feb. 30th?

Pturner 08-13-2010 10:07 PM

...Unless, of course, there's a full moon that day.

eweissenbach 08-13-2010 10:10 PM

I are.

I'm a certified rocket scientist and brain surgeon, that is when I'm not finishing my work on ending world hunger and excavating Noahs Arc.

The next meeting of My Ears No-hear, Say Again? is scheduled for...

Nonie,

I love this. And when you find out where they meet, please let me know because I will be right there with you.

And, btw, I also loved that post of yours where you talked about backing into your husband's truck. Nonie, you are one funny lady. And my guess is that, in person, you can say these things with the straightest face imaginable. But we can see that twinkle in your eye. Thanks for the laughs.

Boomer

They're all over in the Kool aid thread.:evil6:

graciegirl 08-14-2010 10:59 AM

No Mensa, not me. I was a bluebird in the reading groups.

SALYBOW 08-14-2010 11:29 AM

Almost Mensa
 
I passed the test but never joined. I was too smart to give into my own hubris. :eclipsee_gold_cup:

Taltarzac 08-14-2010 02:09 PM

I got 19 of these but it took me about 10 minutes.

This test seems very culturally biased.

I got 19 of these filled out and then gave up. 19 or better is supposedly "genius". No sense going for 33. These would be easy to get with access to the Internet. I just looked at them until something popped into my head.

swrinfla 08-14-2010 04:31 PM

There actually is a Mensa Club here.

Meets on the fourth Wednesday of each month (except July-August, and November-December, when it's usually too close to holiday activities), 4:30pm - 6:00pm, at Tierra del Sol Rec Center. Many members go to dinner together afterwards, sometimes at Tierra del Sol CC, sometimes at Hacienda Hills CC. The location usually depends upon whether there is loud entertainment or not! The choice is for where it is "quiet!"

Membership is open to all, even those who may not or do not "qualify" as Mensans!

Join me in this fascinating and mind-challenging group!

Gee, I thought they met at Crispers on the third Friday of the month at 3:00 pm.

Wow, Swrinfla, I thought you were just another pretty face!

swrinfla 08-15-2010 04:58 PM

Hawkwind:

I think that you've confused Mensa with mensa. TOTV-ers who meet at Crisper's may be mensans!

Graciegirl:

Ah, but my pretty face is cover for a reasonably good brain! :jester:

I meant to go to the last one and forgot

I refuse to answer on the grounds that I might incriminate myself.

A trait of Mensa members.

billethkid 01-29-2013 03:52 PM

so if one can pass a test one gets a title/lable?
Like a plumber? Electrician? Nurse? Doctor? Pilot? Et al?

I have read here in TV where they seek other Mensans out to propogate/participate "higher level" conversations.

Always was too intellectual for me as I prefer the reality of the day to day world in which we live...regardless of the level.

As in so many other issues/clubs/politics/beer.....to each his/her own.

OldDave 01-29-2013 04:22 PM

Actually, I'm qualified to be a member, but wouldn't enjoy it. In the normal world I can be my usual smart ass self, and feel smarter than most people (at least in my fantasy world!)

If I join Mensa I'll know that nearly everyone in the group is smarter than I am, lol.

paulandjean 01-29-2013 04:45 PM

Years ago,back in my old state. I was a member.

Kind of how I felt about joining this forum.

ohiosbestus 02-06-2013 09:53 PM

good one----always good to find someone with a sense of humor

wendyquat 02-06-2013 10:14 PM

Crap, I had to read all 34 responses and found not one Mensa to fill in for our trivia team!

DougB 02-06-2013 10:22 PM

Trivia ain't what it used to be.
