Why does being a fool or a genius change that?
Well, I didn't make up the aphorisms. Maybe they don't have 'em in crill3's native language.NickD wrote:PWN3D.... Usagi.
Anyhoo, I think it tends to be true: smart people seem to have similar bright ideas, and dumb people seem to have similarly dumb ideas, and the majority of people seem to have no ideas at all.

@Z: It's like a distinction without a difference. And, do you hate me, or the way I talk? 'Cuz I can't seem to stop! I'm like a shark! Help!
Actually, I was trying to comment on the tendency of aphorisms to contradict each other: Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander vs. One man's meat is another man's poison; etc.
