b)He really isn’t into being cool, and I am really glad our family’s control of American cultural influences includes very little exposure to the Simpsons, so he has never seen the slogan before.

Ah, but virtually everyone else has. Get your son the t-shirt by all means. I was forgetting he was 10.

I think that t-shirt would be a good Mensa test, personally. If you get the joke, you’re in! If not, you’re not.

**I found it. According to this page, the GRE requirement is:
prior to 5/94 (math + verbal): 1250

scored from 5/94 to 9/01 (math + verbal + analytic): 1875

effective 10/01: N/A

I’m in! Woohoo! My life is now complete.

Well, that just shows how stupid you are.

hmm, well I have not taken a ICQ but I got a 21 on my ACTs… So im not sure how “qualified” I would be. I wonder if bad test taking is in my genes.

I have no idea what the ACT is, but according to Mensa, you need the following to qualify:

ACT Composite

prior to 9/89: 29

effective 9/89: N/A

So, if you tool the ACT after September 1989, it wouldn’t qualify you for Mensa no matter how high your score.
