No, of course not. He'd have trouble understanding the instructions
that come with a toothbrush. Must be his high snicker IQ.

I keep forgetting what he said it was, 154 or 157? Or did he up the
ante from there, somewhere along the line? d8-)


"mid 150s"

"In 1971, I was given a battery of tests at Michigan Tech University
(Houghton) and after some head scratching, the chief of testing
declared I had an IQ of 157. They wrote several articles on the
subject and published them somewhere."

Wieber was/wasn't a Mensa member.

I think that his inability to tell a credible lie indicates
below-average intelligence. A conclusion that's bolstered by the fact
that Wieber lives in his beater truck most of the time. Of course
there may well be a web page that "proves" that it's common for highly
intelligent mensa member/non members to live in trucks. I'm looking
forward to seeing how many such people have run up, what is it Wieber,
4 new liens in the last year?


I've lost count.

But if his IQ is over 150, he's probably a member of the Triple-Nine
Society. None of that pansy Mensa stuff.

Triple-Niners live in Citroens, and drink Rosée de Montagne.


Very funny! Too bad Wieber can't afford to rent a Smart car to spend
some nights in.


Why the hell would I want a Smart Car? Ive got enough rolling stock as
it is, and I couldnt get more than a single toolbox in one.

My E350 needs $300 in parts (crank and bearings and gasket set) and
its back on the road. Seems that when they stole the gear out of the
back while it was parked..they dumped a large handful of sand down the
oil filler. Scored the crank a bit and the mechanic wants to change it
out. Half my rod bearings look brand new..the other half have the
babbet worn away right up the center..inline with the oil holes, all
else looks brand new. Though I should have pulled the pan and the
valve covers back in 2008..the 20+ yrs the van sat..turned all the oil
into black gummy and everything was filled with it. Had a
disintergrated intake manifold gasket too. T hank Crom that I didnt
put it on the road without having it checked out. Didnt score the
crank badly..but put definate scratches in some of the journals. I
could..could probably crocus it up a bit and get 150k miles out of it,
but I figure this is going to be the last service truck Im ever going
to put on the road..so need to do it properly. If it lasts me 10
yrs...Ill be golden. Ill be 72 then..and wont be much interested in
doing what Im doing now...traveling service tech at 72..on the road
3-10 days at a time..not any fun. I dont think the ol body could
handle a hell of a lot more of this ****. Shrug.

First time Ive heard of the T99 society. Now tell me why its worth my
while to join it? I was in and out of Mensa 40+ yrs ago and it
really didnt impress me enough to stick with it. I was too busy
earning a living to **** around with it.

Damned shame you didnt have the same choices. Shrug
