"A four-year-old girl from Hampshire has been accepted into Mensa with an IQ just one point below Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking."

and...

"In 2009, Oscar Wrigley, aged two and a half at the time, from Reading in Berkshire became the youngest ever child to join Mensa with an IQ of 160."

(160 is the same IQ as Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking!)

a recent study showed that people who are right wing politically uno tea party conservatives et al are dumb as dirt. and the more literate or educated you are the less likely you are to be a racist knumbnut.

 in the response to this study, a right wing british rag started a discussion challenging this theory, in the thread a gentleman of the conservative persuasion said the study must be wrong as he had an iq of 200 

 

Not all the respondents were stupid. Some were merely deluded. Someone calling themselves "Hillside" from Sydney claimed: "I have an IQ over 200, have six degrees and diplomas and am 'right-wing', as are others I know at this higher level of intelligence." His IQ score is particularly impressive considering the maximum possible score on Mensa's preferred IQ test is 161.

This reminds me that we should point out (again) that over 70% of the "facts" and "statistics" that you pick up from the Internet are made up.
