Book smarts vs. common sense - Intelligence thunderdome.

[Arthur Dent]

i have. i am completely amazed sometimes at conversations i have with them. sure they can build things and are great at science and math,and say things like "ooooh look at me im talking calc 5" but they know shit about anything else.

Those people always worried me. I'd be shooting pool in the lounge and they'd be just standing there talking about angle of trajectory and impact force. Give 'em a pool stick and they didn't even know how to hold it right.
