Ah, but isn't that the very delusion underwriting many posts to this list?

My mother will frequently tell people in any locale imaginable that I am
"very brilliant." These are her actual words. People nod politely in
agreement and I feel extremely embarrassed! Ahh, but that's a mom for you.
;) "Very brilliant" must be an honorary title I get for simply being her
son.
Actually, the Extropian Institute has the polymath list for people who are
supposedly geniuses in several subjects! Damien, aren't you on that list?
lol
