Starting today, I am an intellectual. Again.
Proven fact: For every order of magnitude your vision is off from 20/20, your IQ increases 1/10th of that percentile with the purchase and use of prescription glasses.
My vision was 20/85 with a myopic bias, or 450% off of 20/20. Therefore, I am now 45% smarter than I was before. Pics to come tomorrow after I get home from school.
 
I'm at a loss to think of some kind of witty response, especially with the horrible realization that I completely set myself up for that.

Just go to bed. Now you are digging yourself a gigantic hole. :sly: :D

I don't know what you look like, Toronado. I hope the pic includes your face!
 
It's a proven fact that contact lenses increase your IQ proportionally to the second power of the square root of 12, and is inversely related to the distance (in millimeters) from the corner of your left eye to the lower extremity of your left ear lobe (a function of the arm-length of a standard pair of prescription glasses, known in the optometry business as the 'De Milo Constant') depending on which sign of the zodiac you are (or whichever is greater to the power of ten, and in that order).
 
Its true! Whenever I take off my glasses, I suddenly feel so average.... 💡 I'm gonna go buy more glasses.
 
...increase your IQ proportionally to the second power of the square root of 12

wouldn't the second power of the square root of 12 equal 12?

square root of 12 is:
3.4641016151377545870548926830117


3.4641016151377545870548926830117 times 3.4641016151377545870548926830117 equals 12

You are speedily hacking a dead horse. I think you need some gibberish glasses :)
 
Do you ever use AIM?
Why do you ask?


Anyways:

I'd say I look like Alec Baldwin, which I'd say is very appropriate because I have an uncle that looks and sounds like an aged Sam Neil and another one that looks and sounds like Phil Hartman.
 
Congrats on the glasses and thanks for reminding me that I should go get my eyes checked out.

Its a good thing if your one eye can't focus on anything past 10 feet right? Everyone has to close one eye to read the clock on the other side of the room now and then.
