I Think I'm Getting Smarter for Sure

Postby Vince P » Wed Jul 15, 2009 7:55 pm

It seems that for some odd reason my IQ is improving with age. Has this happened to anyone else lately?

The proof is in the pudding following a couple of episodes of Jeopardy this week.

For the past 10 years or so, I've been getting between 7 and 17% of the questions right each night.

However ,this week, I have been clicking at an extraordinary 67-77% clip, even getting Final Jeopardy right the other night.

So for those of you who think you get dumber as you get older, it ain't always the case.

I'm living proof.

Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.

If you have kids, when they all move out, you'll be a genius, a regular freaking Einstein

Hey, one of those kids could be a future Ken Jennings-
