"And that's even IF I hadn't been an extraordinarily shy youngster..."
Got it? Now go back to drooling over Ally's sister, and save the character assessment for those you actually know something about.
Thanks.

actually, I wouldn't say I'm "annoyed" with it. I've been "hanging around" (for a total of a few days) probably for the same reasons as many others: Killing boredom at work, amusement while at work. Almost anything is interesting or fun enough when it's new. And there's nothing I've seen here, as of yet, that would cause me to take this as anything BUT fun. And, actually, I could think of several more pressing "internal questions" than that one.
Similarly, out of curiosity, Jess -- I could ask you the same, since you recently declared that ILX could eat your "fuc".

yeah, see, that's what I get for trying to be clever or funny without having taken the proper lessons first...

Actually, based on the below, either Ally and Spencer are not real geniuses since they are superbly talented at flirty-small talk, or maybe they are superubergeniueses since they aren't semi-ocio-paths when it comes to chit-chat. I've seen Spencer in akchun; I can only dream about Ally.
Scientists Wonder if Einstein, Newton Were AutisticReutersApr 30 2003 2:26PMLONDON (Reuters) - Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton were geniuses but British scientists believe they may have suffered from Asperger syndrome -- a form of autism.
The condition, first described by Viennese physician Hans Asperger in 1944, is a disorder that causes deficiencies in social and communication skills and obsessive interests.
But it does not affect learning or intellect and many people with AS have exceptional talents or skills.
Although it is impossible to make a definitive diagnosis in people who are dead, Simon Baron-Cohen of Cambridge University and Ioan James of Oxford University studied the personalities of Einstein and Newton to see if the two scientists had symptoms of AS.
"Newton seems a classic case. He hardly spoke, was so engrossed in his work that he often forgot to eat, and was lukewarm or bad-tempered with the few friends he had," New Scientist magazine said on Wednesday.
Baron-Cohen said Einstein was also a loner and as a child he repeated sentences obsessively. Although Einstein made friends and spoke out on political issues, Baron-Cohen suspects he showed signs of Asperger syndrome.
"Passion, falling in love and standing up for justice are all perfectly compatible with Asperger syndrome," he told the weekly science magazine.
"What most people with AS find difficult is casual chatting -- they can't do small talk," he added.
But Glen Elliott, a psychiatrist at the University of California at San Francisco, said geniuses can be socially inept and impatient with other people without being autistic.
"Impatience with the intellectual slowness of others, narcissism and passion for one's mission in life might combine to make such an individual isolative and difficult," he told the magazine.
Baron-Cohen said he hopes the research can improve understanding of Asperger syndrome and make life easier for people who suffer from the condition.

We all do, Vic. (In case this creeps her out, I have surprisingly not had any sex dreams about ILXers. I'm working on it, obviously.)Actually I dreamed of someone else last night, sexually. No one you know, and for once it was someone I actually do find very sexy - I sometimes have sex dreams about those I don't.
As for the article, the line "Although it is impossible to make a definitive diagnosis in people who are dead" is a masterpiece. It is among the more idiotic articles I've ever read.

yeah it's just so absurd, that it didn't warrant its own thread; only the hooters thread would do.
