That was a funny article, but much of it was quite true and quite unfunny -- such as the more highly intelligent having much fewer children and the higher IQ nations having much lower birth rates. I am a member of MENSA, and I stay up all night most nights... ?? yikes! lol. Lying? nope -- that is exactly the opposite of me. I lose friends because I say the truth -- and will not tolerate the lower-IQ lies not mentioned in the article which some people call "political crrectness" and just plain ignorance. Lies you don't know are lies is called "ignorance", so lower IQ people have much more lying. They can't help but live lies -- you know, like birds, til they fly into a friggin window! People like me at least try to paint figures on the window to keep bird brains from killing thmeselves. Come on people!

What's the correlation between IQ and EQ?

Haha, awesome!
MENSA's standards aren't that high. Anyone who joins is probably a self-important douche.
