Who is the smartest person you know in real life?

We were just sitting here talking about getting someone to do some work we have... and I thought this might be a good topic for the huddle.

I've known a guy, name is John, since like 1995. He's about 60 years old now... he's a programmer/GIS specialist that I've worked with off and on for many years. My old boss, who worked with him for even longer said that they once took IQ tests in the early 90's when they both worked for Westinghouse and John's IQ was 180.

This guy has a photographic memory and I've seen it in action... he could remember stuff like specific lines of code we had written like 7 or 8 years previous. I can call him anytime and have him write programs and batch files that do exactly what I want... it's pretty cool actually.

Who do you know?

My oldest sister, brains for miles. Deans list at UNC-CH, went to Duke for a summer smart kid program while in Jr High.

I've had specialists tell me since I was in 5th grade that I have a photographic memory. Never believed it until I started playing music

Smart or Intelligent. IMO there is a difference.

Smart people figure out how to make the best of life wheather it means making money, living in certain areas, or being healthy.

Intelligent people can read code, remember certain things that don't mean anything, are good at Cross Word puzzles.

Big difference.

One of my best friends. Brilliant. Witty as hell too. It seemed he could have an in depth conversation about anything and he wasn't bull pooting you either. He had degrees in something with computers, another in philosophy and a law degree. Found out from his parents he had a super high IQ, which wasn't all surprising. Not because of his degrees, you could tell he was smart just from conversation.

However he killed himself. Too smart for his own good. He was awesome.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!

      Inappropriate relationship with a team staffer, followed up with some stalking behavior, and ultimately a felony home invasion charge from a visit at her apartment that culminated in him threatening her life and his as well.
