    No, he means the D&D [chat] people. Than was holding him down while Cel and Dyna were rolling with the punches.
    Uh, you misused that phrase unless you mean that cel and myself were being punched but were moving our bodies with the punches to avoid excessive damage.

    That's enough of my essay for now. I'll continue tomorrow when i'm not so mind numbingly bored with it. Or I may try and do some later, I want to have done it by Thursday 5o'clock anyway.

    Man, we need to get Sal back in here, so I can verbally beat the shit out of him over his "oh, it's the hurricanes' fault that infant mortality is so high in Mississippi."

    As it turns out, as long as you only count white people, the infant mortality rate in Mississippi is lower than the national average (6.6 versus 6.9). However, the mortality rate among non-white people is over 17 per 1000.

    So, really, as it turns out, the reason it's so high is that Mississippi doesn't give a shit about non-whites, which is hardly surprising, given that it's fucking Mississippi.

    Man, anyone with even a passing familiarity with the 2000 electoral trends pretty much know what they're getting without even recoursing to the statistics. People in the sticks and suburbanites voted for Bush, people in cities voted for Gore. Cities are desirable places to live and rural areas and suburbs are where we stash our outcasts.

    How so? It's not entirely accurate at differing between somebody with 125 and 131 but if you just take the 'deviations' they're pretty accurate.

    The IQ scale was designed for the diagnosis of developmental delay (i.e. mental retardation). It's pretty good at determining the extent of developmental delay someone has, because that's what it's designed for. At the higher end of the scale, it doesn't really tell you anything, because at that end, peoples' intelligence tends to diverge a lot; aside from a few exceptions, most people excel in a limited number of areas, and aren't so good in others.

    That's generally how it's interpreted, but it was originally formulated to reflect relative intellectual age, and was really grounded in trying to quantify retardation. Since then, it's kind of been picked up as an ego salve to nerds who need to get a little of their own back after spending their high school years locked in gym lockers.

    I've actually been working on re-creating the master hard-drive for our fiscal department's computer upgrade for the past week or so.

    See, we had one, then I went to make a couple of copies (one so we had a backup, and one so I could upgrade one person's computer), but someone had switched the "write to" and "write from" slots on our HD copying computer without telling anyone.

    Suffice to say, I was a bit upset.

    From what I hear from professionals it's 130 and up where it gets iffy. IQ is kind of goofy anyway. It's what you do with it. By any measure I'm a smart guy but most days I feel like I've wasted almost my entire fucking life.
