Intelligence Sign

Post Reply New Topic

I just placed the following sign on my door in response to a loud group of aggressive clowns who live in my building who were raising hell tonight. One of them is being evicted. I may soon get a T-Shirt imprinted with the same thing. I think this is self explanatory... smile and enjoy it.

Intelligence Is Inversely Proportional To The Square Of Group Size And Inversely Proportional To The Cube Of Jaw Flapping And Bulls**t.

Good one. Would they understand it, though?

Probably not. I wish that my apartment were in a location where more people passed by to be able to see it, but then again maybe that is a blessing.

Probably the only person who will see it is the young girl who lives across the hall from me, but she is a good guy. She used to work for Apple as a training rep. She hides out in her apartment just like I do and one time told me that she often did not set foot out of her door for 3 and 4 days at a time. Lately though I have noticed that she is spending more time away from here, probably to escape the same aggression that I must deal with.

One thing I can and will do to make this thought more visible is to plaster it all over the WiFi airwaves as a series of network names. I have two high powered WiFi boxes that create up to 8 networks and use this as a way to express my opinions to the idiots who spread ignorance. People go looking for their desired home network and run smack kadab into my networks. Its like free local billboard advertising. Ever see the 1988 John Carpenter movie named "They Live"? Its somewhat like those subliminal message billboards you saw all over the place in that movie. That must wait a few days though... tonight and tomorrow I will put up networks reminding people of Autism Awareness Day on Monday.

Yesterday these same clowns dumped their fast food lunch (looks like seafood) all over the stairway landing below me and did not clean up their mess. It is still there and today I will take a picture of it to give to the apartment manager. It is so typical of their animal like behavior. I called the local cops on them at 1:30 AM this morning and today it is silent as a morgue out there.

Why square and cube?

Because stupidity grows faster than at a linear rate.

Someone might comment on the random capitalization.

Moved from General Autism to Random Discussion

Not exactly random. Proper or not, when making signs such as this, I have a habit of always capitalizing all words, including those words that are not normally capitalized such as "of" and "the". It helps give it a bit of punch IMHO.

This evening I thought of a good use for this sign when I get tired of having it on my door... something that will get it a lot more exposure to other people. I will either place it in the laundry room or tape it to the door of the trash compactor... or both. A LOT of people will see it there.

OP, did you ever read "A Confederncy of Dunces"?

Be sure to set everything including your Bluetooth name to what you are trying to communicate. You might consider tacking a picture of a lobster or a clam or spongebob on their door and sign it...your less barbarian neighbors.

I had to Google that one... looks interesting from the Wiki article description... I will have to check that one out later on.

I now have a new, expanded version of the sign that will go on display later on. It reads:

"Intelligence Is Inversely Proportional To The Square Of Group Size, Inversely Proportional To The Cube Of Jaw Flapping And Inversely Proportional To The Quartic Of Cellphone Use".

Here are links to pics of the lunch dumped on the stairway landing. It stayed there all weekend long until the apartment cleanup crew cleaned it up Monday morning. The rats feasted on all the food Saturday night. Apparently the four legged animals are a higher life form than their two legged counterparts. I now have printed copies of these pics with narrative captions and will go talk to the manager in a half hour or so. Note the upright cup... this was placed there intentionally and not accidentally.

You'll like the book. I thought of it when you talked about your signs. Ignatius put up a lot of signs too, in protest of things, or to get his disapproval across. It's actually made it into my "read once a year" group.
