how easy would that be to place as a supplement in food?

Yeah, kids will be eating "CheeriQs" for breakfast.

rhyming "drug + up + up" seems to be just a bit *stretching...

OK, I changed it, Musick. Can't let you make a dope outta me. [Themilum is doing a pretty good job of that without you piling on. ]

"My husband took an IQ pill with his Viagra. Now he thinks he's a f***ing genius!"

"So we gave one to the president and it doubled his IQ." "You mean he's still below average?"

We could call the pill Fantasticks, because people who need it are those who "Try to Remember."

Or just Hike Q.

A REAL sadist would put it into the drinks of those who are trying to drink to forget.

And teachers will need pills to keep up.

Some teachers will say "We already do."

All this time I thought Oreos were brain pills.

"So we gave one to the president and it doubled his IQ." "You mean he's still below average?"

If you boosted the President's IQ, he would probably fire all his advisors for following his own advice.

If you boosted the President's IQ, he would probably fire all his advisors for following his own advice.

He might even declare himself a WMD [Weapon of Mental Deficiency].

All this time I thought Oreos were brain pills

Oreos give your brains a sugar kick but it all goes to waist.

"My husband took an IQ pill with his Viagra. Now he thinks he's a f***ing genius!"

Yeah, he thinks foreplay is a mindgame.

A REAL sadist would put it into the drinks of those who are trying to drink to forget

If people who are trying to forget were any smarter, TEd Rem, they wouldn't be trying to forget.

If Einstein had a brain boost it might have put him into outer orbit. Then we'd be back to square one, relatively speaking.

I knew a preacher who had a brain boost. He defrocked the congregation.

I knew a diva who had a brain boost. She lost most of her cleavage.

I knew a psychologist who had a brain boost. He had his head examined.

If Pamela Anderson had a brain boost, she might put her wits on display.

If Paris Hilton had a brain boost, it wouldn't make a wit of difference.

I knew a terrorist who had a brain boost. It blew his mind.

If Sarte had a brain boost, he might have waited for Godot.

If religion had a brain boost, it might live by the bible.

NO, Pamela, this is for MEMORY.

We could call it ThanaX, sort of like Zanax, but this would be ThanaX for the memories.

this would be ThanaX for the memories

Perhaps, TEd Rem, but for many it will be "Thanks for the mammaries".

I knew a Judge who had a brain boost. He never had any reasonable doubt.

I knew a baker who had a brain boost. He finally figured out why he was never making any dough.

I knew a chiropractor who had a brain boost. He decided his training wasn't all it was cracked up to be. [Or was that the stand-up comic?]

I knew a stockbroker who had a brain boost. He decided not to put his clients into anything.

I knew a poet who had a brain boost. He decided it wasn't worth the effort after all.

Only after Plutarch got a brain boost did he come to realize that the only people who get brain boosts are naif simpletons.

If Plutarch had a brain boost, he would probably take ASp's advice. [Option (a)]

BTW Musick beat you to the punch this time, themilum. Alas, he was right. I had to trash my own limerick.

Some limericks deserve a laff.
Others just a gaff.

People who need a brain boost are seldom smart enough to know it, themilum.

re Pamela Anderson's wits

Flattering to deceive: the femmes fatales
London Times, December 21, 2004

Extract:

"Let us make things simpler and say that if you are a woman of fair-to-middling looks and age who wants to entrance a man (or men), this is how you do it.

The first step is that you sound — no, not sound, you are — very, very interested in everything he says (this is easy if he is the Home Secretary, but as your grandmother will have told you, everyone, no matter how boring they might at first appear, is interesting if you ask them the right questions). And the second step is that, although modestly — indeed conservatively — dressed, you contrive to look as though your clothes might all fall off with a strong gust of wind. It is a mistake to underestimate the power of wholesome, straightforward sex, especially where brilliant, oldish, hard-working and not very good-looking men are concerned.

So there you are. The instant seductress’s guide. No Botox, no plastic surgery, no Rules. And just the one condition: you have to be prepared to leave a bleeding trail of devastation behind you."

If this advice is to be believed, the best way for a lady to impress a man with her brain is to get him thinking below his belt.

A woman doesn't need to boost her intelligence if she knows how to boost a man's.

Then Plutarch said...
"People who need a brain boost are seldom smart enough to know it."

[sigh] Darnit, Plutarch, 'fess up; you didn't take the test.
If you did you wouldn't commit redundantcy.

(a) Irony_______________________[ ]
(b) The horns of a dilemma________ [ ]
(c) A paradox____________________[ ]
(d) A self-fulfilling prophesy________[ ]

The answer is (d).

The answer is (d) - A self-fulfilling prophesy

A "self-fulfilling prophecy"?

"People who need a brain boost are seldom smart enough to know it."

So...people who don't need a brain boost are smart enought to know they don't need a brain boost.
Ergo - A self-fulfilling prophecy.

It's just a joke, Plutarch.

It's just a joke, Plutarch.

It's just a boost, themilum.

I would say touche Pluto, but I don't know how to add an accent.

... s/ash ...

I would say touche Pluto, but I don't know how to add an accent.

I could feel the accent, themilum. It only missed me by an inch.

BTW if people continue to take liberties with my handle, I may have to return to my sock puppets. My sock puppets are generally more disrespectful of me than you are, so that would be a defence of last resort.

Is an accent mark needed in the word touchee, Mister Plutarch? As in touchee, touchee, touchee?

- Milum

Is an accent mark needed in the word touchee?

No, what is needed in the word "touchee" is a "y", Melt.

...

If we need an antidote for smilies around here, we must be overdosing on peace and goodwill.

I wish we had a smiley wearing reindeer antlers or a Santa's hat. That would relieve the tedium of good cheer, Wordwind.

I remember a time long ago
When a frown was the sign of a foe
Now times are so sweet
A frown is what greets
A smiley wherever it goes.

It is often said that we humans prefer the spectacle of discord to the spectacle of unrelieved cordiality. [Would anyone pay money to see a "cordiality"? Now a prize fight, or just a good scuffle in the street, that's something else altogether.]

It's a good thing Christmas comes only once a year.
