I went to school with one fellow, he got the all-time record average mark at Uni in first year. Definitely a non-starter at any sports (I wasn't much better either) or other social activities. Last I heard of him he was an engineering boffin somewhere outside of Melbourne.
It's simply education beyond intelligence, lads. Nothing more, nothing less.
See also EQ.
Educated DHs my old man calls them.
Do you mean stupid or ignorant? Please give us an example.
A lot of them have no COMMON sense.
Yep some are real bright... we've had a top honcho metallurgist trying to get a sample of dross using a plastic scoop into a plastic bag... :no:derrrrr the dross is 450° surely you could feel the heat coming off it from 20' away!
Another one doing a process commission asked me why his air driven lead pump was going so slow... god knows how but he had got the fittings to connect it up to a gas line, lucky there was no ignition source:flamed:!
Anyone know when the 5 o'clock news starts?
Going by our local stations, about quarter past 5. :DQuote:
