    I managed to get the countdown conundrum once in about a second. Took the guys on the show about 5 seconds. I was pretty impressed with that.

    my old dear was extolling her pride in myself & my brothers for some reason; most likely we played monopoly wihout resorting to violence. "A family of geniuses" she said. I corrected her: "Genii"

    "Genii" is wrong, unless she meant that you're all guardian spirits.

    Aye me too once, although I used a website to input the letters while myself and the parents were watching Countdown. They were astounded at my sudden extreme scoring capabilities that day while only half paying attention to the program and half browsing the internet. Oh how we laughed.

    I remember the morning after Steve Irwin died of the stingray bite I was in work and someone spoke about the inevitability of him dying in violent circumstance due to his regular dalience with death. True, say's I, as they say, 'He who lives by the swordfish dies by the swordfish'. I thought, f*** me that's clever.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,556 ✭✭✭Nolanger


    A few years ago was in my flat in a house (which was up for sale) and an estate agent was showing buyers around the building. He knocked on my door and said he was looking around the house for the landlord. Without opening the door I replied "well he's not in here"!

    Yeah, it's geniuses. Hope that wasn't the cleverest thing you ever said. :pac:

    It would have been clever, had it not been for the stingray getting there first.:P

    Hmm.

    Meeting my aunt's south-african boyfriend for the first time. He'd come to Ireland to meet us. Soon discovered he wasn't a very nice person, spent the whole evening at dinner telling us why Ireland was rubbish, and why South Africa was so much better, on every level.
    He dominated the entire conversation and was literally screaming at anyone who came to our country's defense.

    Topic turned to rugby.

    Him: Ireland are terrible at rugby. You have no good players. Brian O'Driscoll, your best player is over-rated. South Africa are much better. We've beaten New Zealand twice this year!

    Me (thinking out loud): Yeah, but that was on a PlayStation.

    I've never been given worse evils in my life! He was fuming.

    That's a RIGHT triangle you idiot!

    No, UnderpantsGnome is correct, it works with an Isosceles triangle also.

    "No".

    I find it's something I can reused time and time again and it stays just as clever.

    Does this mean my maths teacher... and the Simpsons... lied to me?

    Oh my God. What's real? Am I real? Are you real? Does Maths actually exist? In what form?

    Whats the cleverest thing you have ever said?


    Not sure what the most clever thing I have ever said is, but using the word 'clever' incorrectly would not be one of them. :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 257 ✭✭sells


    well everybody, P.C won this thread.

    The fine people at Merriam-Webster's dictionary would disagree with you, good sir. 'Cleverest' is a perfectly legitimate word.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,149 ✭✭✭skyhighflyer


    Also, the cleverest thing I ever said (circa March 2009)

    "I think the FF government will be too bull-headed to consider the alternative option of nationalising the banks, and will instead pursue the bad-bank model so I'm expecting bank share prices to rise in the medium-term"

    Quids in a couple of months later :pac:

    If you mean this:

    Then, no. They agree with me.

    Stop and think about that for a second and it makes no sense! Say you have an isosceles triangle in a similar shape to the spire, then the square root of the base is clearly not equal to the sum of the 2 long sides...

    I think you'll find that the angle of the dangle is inversely proportional to the heat of the beat.

    after intercourse i found that the condom had broken

    after a few minutes of panic and crying into my pillow I rolled over and announced;

    "in for a penny, in for a pound"
    BOOM!

    Pfft. I got the target in a Maths round inside the 30 seconds that neither the contestants or Mrs. Vorderman could get.

    It's been all downhill from there :(
