- Waaaait a minute. Iikka did not write that article. *I* did in answering Iikka.
- It was not meant as bragging. He started by saying that the 8 brightest people
- (IQ>125) he knew were atheists. And I replied that of the 6 brightest people I
- know, only one is an atheist. The rest are Xtians. Then he challenged me how many
- there would remain if the threshhold was set to 160. And I replied that only one
- did. Or two if I counted my latest test results, but I did not put my trust in
- these since they yielded unreasonably large IQ values. Therefore I stick with my
- official IQ testing at age 6 which was below 160.
