there was a whole thread devoted to the war of 1812 back in June.. its just a side bar in this thread, but you might enjoy reading the discussion..
I remember that. A very good example of someone saying something without thinking and then refusing to retract his point, even though he realised immediately after speaking that he was wrong.
On topic, I find that there are 4 other people in my school who are equal in intelligence to myself. One of them is related to me, and is registered on this board. Some of you old timers might remember him. There are about ten or fifteen people I can think of that are relative smart, but not as smart as the previous four. The rest are as stupid as dirt.
Note that when I say I am one of the smartest people in the school, I am going off the evidence that every single day, I am told this by way too many people.
