I think when you kill charr, one item they should drop is steak, and you can eat it and make your character fat. The more charr steaks you eat, the fatter you get. Then to get thin again, just type in /diet and boom! You're thin again!

I think my IQ dropped about 5 points after reading this thread.

nightrunner · Nov 19, 2005, 04:55 AM // 04:55

So your IQ is now 10?

Well, I for one agree with Aracos.

Black Angus Steaks would be happy though

Aracos79 · Nov 19, 2005, 05:11 AM // 05:11

mmm... Black Angus. Beef, it's what's for dinner.

Lou · Nov 19, 2005, 05:13 AM // 05:13

Beef makes you shoot blanks...or so I hear.

benmanhaha · Nov 19, 2005, 05:13 AM // 05:13

why just for dinner? steak, its what for breakfast.

Platinum Agent · Nov 19, 2005, 05:29 AM // 05:29

Charrbroiled steaks...lol that is a very amusing idea, my IQ has gone from 140 to about 145 (I just did a few IQ tests online

).

Lou · Nov 19, 2005, 05:34 AM // 05:34

145 holy crap your a genius... mines 129 cause I skipped most of the mathematical problems. (Math is for jerks)

Aracos79 · Nov 19, 2005, 05:43 AM // 05:43

Math teachers are the spawn of Hades. They all must've been abused as children.

Last time I took an IQ test it was 140 something, don't remember, it was a few years ago.

On a side note, IQ tests are total bullshit. As are all sort of "multiple choice" tests, or tests as a whole. They don't show what you really know, or even how you think, because we as humans subconciously put down biased answers whenever we're left without anything else. It's the same reason why all those "What sort of season are you!" and other such quizes are bullshit, they almost always turn out how people want them to, because while filling it out they tend to put down things that aren't necessarily correct about themselves, it's just how they'd like to be.

Some people just aren't good at tests, some people guess. Hell the dumbest person I know has a high IQ, but the guy couldn't keep a job or even make it through high school.

Common sense is much more important than your "IQ", your "intelligence". Hell experience is worth more than your IQ! It's like the (P)SAT/ACT tests, you study hard for that, guess on some answers, and you either get lucky or you do shitty. It doesn't prove how much you know, or how well you work.

Stupid stupid stupid.

The charr steak thing though, THAT is a good idea.

When I saw the post about the online IQ test, I was going to go off on him, telling him how terrible any online test is... But it seems like you covered that pretty nicely.

Lesson - Don't take online tests, they don't tell you a damn thing.

Aracos79 · Nov 19, 2005, 07:54 AM // 07:54

Online tests? Hell... just about any standardized or normed exam is unlikely to tell you anything useful, except how you were feeling that particular day.

TheEPIC · Nov 19, 2005, 08:19 AM // 08:19

Actually the only thing I've learned from standardized tests and the such is that I do well in such "stressful" situations. It has told me that I can get over nervousness and just do what I know how to do.

I know that that is the case for myself generally because the one test I did bad on was an SAT2 that I was ridiculously pissed I had to take and I couldn't get over how pissed I was. Otherwise I do just fine.

EDIT: Oh, and I personally know someone who qualifies for genius status, and is a national merit scholar. The guy is a freaking dope though when it comes to real world situations. Pie is right, common sense wins out in the end.

nebucanezar · Nov 19, 2005, 12:30 PM // 12:30

I thought this was about steaks. Bring me mine medium rare and covered in fresh mushrooms. And as far as steaks making you shoot blanks. Well i dont care i have three babies and that is plenty for this mr mom. Heh.

nightrunner · Nov 19, 2005, 05:56 PM // 17:56

This thread is making me hungry...

And Black Angus Steaks is a guild. Check out their site - it's covered in pictures of steaks

Aracos79 · Nov 19, 2005, 06:24 PM // 18:24

How did mankind survive before steak, pizza, and hot wings?

EchoSex · Nov 19, 2005, 07:13 PM // 19:13

Woud you like an apple pie with that?

ManadartheHealer · Nov 19, 2005, 07:21 PM // 19:21

I agree with PieXags. I know "stupid" people who have done very well on the IQ test (like 150 or so), so either the test is complete B.S., or the test doesn't matter at all, because a higher score does not necessarily mean you can apply your intelligence to your life.

Transluecent51 · Nov 19, 2005, 07:27 PM // 19:27

Also remember they are multiple choice so you could possibly guess your way out of being an idiot accidentally. As for them being online...their free...their easy, what does that tell you? That they probably mean almost squat to do other than self vanity maybe. Possibly you got called a moron earlier in the day and wanna redeem your ego or what not. I figure if your smart enough you LEARN (thing people with brains do) that your IQ means nothing more than these pointless words I'm writing...you'll toss aside anything having to do with it because again...it dosn't matter.

Good point...I had a high score on that test when I was a kid. To me it doesn't matter how much intelligence you have....what matters is how well you apply it. I failed at that....
