Hard to believe you are so young! That's a pretty eloquent and emotionally complex post. Yes, you are contemplative.

Any "elitism" that people with AS purvey will be very quickly squished by the boot of reality. It's one thing to propose diatribe on the 'net, which someone with AS shouldn't have too much difficulty with, and it's a hell of another out there in the real world.

Oh I think we could 'take over' but take over what?, a big mess. We are better off acting dumb and waiting until it all just caves in under it's own weight and then acting dumb even more so we don't get blamed for try to rebuild it.

So I contend that The Lab Pet is not a Genius due to lack of production of a Genius Work. Which is a needed step to get accepted into the Genius Guild.

I also contend that The Lab Pet is not a Genius because these agreeing Diagonosticians have a range of 145 to 160 for Genius, and The Lab Pet is overqualified.

The Lab Pet is in fact of the Blood of The Elder Gods, which is a seperate Guild.



Mea Culpa. Sort-of. To clarify (from a later post): Lab Pet is a Neuroscientist (that's not neurology)! But to the point: I actually have had lightning strikes in lab but it's not what you're thinking 8O

Let me explain.....first, it wasn't my fault! My lab is basically a faraday cage inside faraday cage so there's radio signal (& good my advisor & others do not have a pacemaker)! So I decided to get radio reception, the hard way.

Not only did I get AM/FM radio waves but also short-wave and beyond. I attached the cheap radio battery terminals to lab metal-handled brushes, to coat hangers, grounded, then to metal coat roack ultimately to the copper plumbing (that would be the safety shower) which is attached to the fume hoods all the way to the roof of the Arctic Science Building.

So we had awesome radio signal! For a while...then sparks. Then the track lighting, like a domino cascade, went out in a slow procession.

THEN LIGHTNING STRIKES!! ! BLUE LIGHTNING STRIKES!! !

Then (Lab Pet is so in trouble by now...), the power outage took out the Arctic Science Building. The University then had a sweeping outage. My PI/advisor told me, very discretely, to dismantle (in the dark). I did this.

By coincidence (?) the Fairbanks power grid went out. I swear, it's not my fault and there is such a thing as coincidence. Fairbanks does have widespread outages from time to time anyway.

The take-home message: Lab Pet meets and greets the qualifications (iq # wise, that is) but has some fine-tuning to do. And not just the radio.

I take the Inventor's words as a challenge. This means I have work to do. Specifically, MORE work (is that possible)? But I'm in progress. And that's Neuroscience.

No radio in lab? Lab Pet needs stimming music.
Now you know.

I had that same thing happen once in a utilidor on the north slope and I thoutht it was alsmost as good as dying and going to heaven since it lasted for about 5 or 6 minutes and then when it was over it was disappointing that God could not put on a very good show.
