Wittgenstein would provide a pretty good demolition of the idea that IQ tests are anything other than knowing how to do IQ tests.  If I could just remember what it was, and then articulate it, you'd have it.  But I can't do either.

There's the good 'awkward student' example where even devising the rule as to how to continue the series '1,2,3,4,5...' is demonstrated to be impossible to articulate - it requires an understanding that can only be acquired by living in the society that we do.  That's not to say that the next number isn't 6, then 7 and so on.

Bah, I'll leave it to Wittgenstein.  There is a reason why he is a world famous philsopher and I'm not.

A word of warning - taking an IQ test adds to your score on the Geek test that was linked to this board a few days ago.

That's true.

Must be tiptronic - or whatever it's called.  That'd work fine with fins.  Or are they flippers?

Hang on, I would have also voted against One Foot in the Grave.

Are you dissing Felicity Kendal?  Or even Penelope Keith?  Too of the sexiest women of the 1970s, in very different ways.

My vote would have been for Blackadder, probably.  With all that quality in the top ten it's perhaps better to imagine who we would vote against.  I would have voted against the Vicar of Dibley and Only Fools and Horses, that's two from the top three!

Sorry, that last part should have gone onto the 'depressed' thread, but I really don't want to get drawn into that debate.

What makes me happy?  Being at home, with my girlfriend.  Which is all too rare at the moment.

Cube 2 - Hypercube.  

My god.  That was awful.

++pottery porn? it could work...++

Been done.  (surely)

I stopped when I went to university ('96) and the years flew by before I noticed that I'd stopped.  So I read all the early '90s stuff...
