The Intelligent People's Thread

Give us 5 of your best characteristics in a list, and your in

1. I have a distinctly superior English accent. In fact, I'm taking voice coaching at the moment to get my Classical languages to sound authentically superior too.
2. I say 'Cat' in the middle of some of my sentences, to enhance my mystique, and provide something for lesser intellectuals to analyse when I'm too busy being superior to enlighten them on real issues.
3. I am considerate enough to repeat myself emphatically, just to make sure that people yet to obtain their doctorate can hear every word of wisdom I have to say. If they, even after that, still can't understand, they can always write it down and go through it with a dictionary and the Oxford guide to literature in combination later.

If they, even after that, still can't understand, they can always write it down and go through it with a dictionary and the Oxford guide to  cat literature in combination later.
5. I have, outside my mansion, a collection of literally hundreds of severed heads on pikes. These used to be people who said (and I quote the vulgarism, simply because it conveys my point) 'lol'. It would have taken a normal person a long time to acquire such an excellent collection, but with my considerable skills, it took merely two or three hours. In my living room, there are the impaled bodies of a band of young ruffians who used to (I have this on good authority, though I would not otherwise believe in such an uncultured act) go around shouting (the sheer expression disgusts me, but I feel using a lesser expression would lose the impact) 'Nanu Desu'.

So, good sirs, if you would consider these qualities of the standard to join your most-esteemed thread as an official member, then I would gladly enter the company of such stunning intellectuals as yourselves. If, however, you wouldn't, you are obviously plebs, and can't cat appreciate my intelligence.

^ I skimmed it, then back-tracked the cat key words, collating them into a scatter diagram before making a précis of the relevant facts with suitable footnotes for later reference. So, in essence, I almost read all of it without reading any of it.

If I'm so intelligent, how come I'm not making any money? 

I believe that is why the phrase is "Stupidly Rich" rather than "Intelligently Rich"

Isn't it kind of strange to eat penises? I mean, imagine yourself taking your loved one to a romantic candlelight dinner, you're sitting at the table, she's examining the menu, then she calls the waiter and says: "I'll have the mashed penises, please."

Or imagine yourself going to the restaurant alone. "What will you have, sir?" the waiter asks, and you reply with a mysterious grin on your face: "Penis. The biggest one you've got."

Don't worry, we have many more intellectual topics we can discuss. So do you have a job laplace, or like Vompatti, JJlehto and I have you  rose above the need for money and thrive off pure intelligence?

Since this topic came up, does any of you intelligent people have good ideas for fellow intelligent people like me who are intelligent enough not to want a job, but who, nevertheless, want to make as much money as possible? I've already thought of becoming a bad writer or a bad musician. I can't paint badly, so that's out of the question. Oh, and I'm pretty bad at gambling. Any other ideas?
