That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard in my life. That's the kinda thing an idiot would have on his luggage.<br>.<br>.<br>.<br>HELMET: We have the combination.<br>SKROOB: Great. Now we can take every last breath fresh air from planet Druidia. What's the combination?<br>SANDURZ: One, two, three, four, five.<br>SKROOB: One, two, three, four, five? That's amazing.

The average IQ of a person is 100. The IQ of a human genius is above 175.<br>A person with an IQ of 160 is as much smarter than an average person as an average person is smarter than a dog.<br>Being smart has nothing to do with being perfect. On the other hand, think tanks do not employ dogs or average people, so some doors are open to very intelligent persons that remain closed to the average person.<br>Another thing that might lead one to assume stupidity abounds on this forum is the very high percentage of responses coming from very young people with no functional life experience from which to draw. Calling someone an idiot in caps without providing some argument to substantiate your position is a way to prove you disagree but without some facts to explain your position, it becomes a meaningless rant.<br>I suspect that a very intelligent person would not take a forum such as this one very seriously.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[merle t cornpone]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 9th 2009 8:42AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Hotmail Scam Reveals Most Common Password: 123456]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/hotmail-scam-reveals-most-common-password-123456/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/hotmail-scam-reveals-most-common-password-123456/</guid><description><![CDATA[The best way to select passwords are select a word from a foreign language, then it will be really random in english.
