Would be fun to try to do a "Benny Hill pat" on the crown of his little head and see what happened.

I'll let you try it. I'm rather attached to my hands.

Might be safer to try it with a barge pole, come to think of it.

It might be safer not to try it at all. Don't fuck with the Shinsengumi.

A special force, policing battle-hardened samurai? I'll pass. They look candy-ass enough, though :)

That's to get you to lower your guard. Don't be fooled.

Not that it's relevant these days, but somehow I think I'd manage to suppress the urge to snigger when around samurai carrying their daishō with them at all times.

Shaolin monks look rather hilarious too, but I wouldn't point and laugh at the orange robes and shaved heads, either.

I think a lot of them are dead. I know Lovecraft is. He wasn't careful enough, and the Illuminati whacked him.

Eh, you can wish to be a child prodigy if you want. Most child prodigies have fucked up and miserable lives later on.

e.g. child prodigy now working as prostitute.

She seems quite happy to be working as a whore. I say more power to her. She's got it, she's flaunting it, and she's getting paid.

It is settled:

"Some consider William James Sidis the smartest man who ever lived, with an estimated IQ of 250 to 300. For the sake of comparison, you only have to have an IQ of 136 to be a mere run of the mill genius, and your average person is somewhere in the 85 to 115 range. Surprisingly pictures of Sidis reveal that his head was only marginally bigger than average and not a throbbing translucent beach ball-sized dome. Word is he wasn't even capable of shooting psychic death rays.

Sidis could read at 18 months, had written four books and was fluent in eight languages at age seven, gave a lecture a Harvard at nine and entered Harvard at 11. Despite his brilliance in the fields of mathematics and cosmology, we do have to question Sidis' intelligence in one key area as he took a vow of celibacy his entire life and likely died a virgin."

I'd say Sidis was smarter than the guys at Cracked realize. After all, he didn't have to deal with women's bullshit this way.
