@graeme-ogg Engineers....what do they know of balsa and filler, I ask you! Your strategic fencing and danger signs will make the inspectors pause but what will truly and rightly strike terror into their hearts is the sight of St. Andrews Cross flying proudly atop "Red Star". If they can't recognize the danger in messing about in that sacred environment then I have no pity for them.
By the way, if you zoomed into my picture you may have seen the warning about butterfly bombs.
This is not a risk one should treat casually. These things can be ANYWHERE. Even if you don't actually provoke an explosion you could frighten them into flapping their wings and then - Wham! - you are personally responsible for a category 5 hurricane in the Caribbean or tornadoes in Arkansas.
If in doubt, seek expert assistance.
Oh, incidentally, I am puzzled by your references to "AGMT". I looked it up and found "Annual Global Mean Temperature", "Advanced Global Manufacturing Technologies" and "All Girls Math Tournament". There is little doubt in my mind that you would find the last one most intellectually appealing but with my relatively dull mental faculties I am having some difficulty relating it to Greenwich Mean Time.
@graeme-ogg Thanks Graeme; your support is appreciated and is a terrific motivational tool as I push through these last few points to achieve the inevitable Mensa fellowship. I'll drop your name when I do my acceptance speech...one good turn deserves another...hey?....know what I mean?....Mensa brother.....could be, could be!
One small correction to your narrative if I may Graeme........you refer to "certain desperation on your part to radiate the same quietly confident air"...etc. Truth be known one does not need to attempt to "radiate" such an air because, as I hope you are able to appreciate, when an individual (like me) reaches the enlightened level of 79.5 IQ (Imperial) (like me) an involuntary essence of intelligence is exuded....an aura to be precise. I believe it is based in a change in chemistry that occurs in the human enlightened brain; something that is far above the understanding of our so-called modern medical science. Submitted for clarification in the same spirit in which this subject was earlier communicated.
So it is a kind of emergent property, and quite suddenly and unexpectedly "Jack, you're a dunce!" becomes "Jack! Your radiance!". How wonderful life can be at moments like that.
And you are quite right, modern science holds no explanation for this phenomenon, although a study of the literature of paranormal beliefs and delusional thinking might offer some insights.
Yes I will agree that it feels good to finally be recognized for my radiance of enlightenment rather than the previous suggestion that my radiance, while enduring my cruel and undeserved placement in the Dunce category, was simply the result of breaking wind. I find it quite amazing that those so-called learned men could be so insecure and threatened by my inevitable intellectual progress....quite petty really. I wonder if Norman Einstein suffered fools like these?
Graeme, as a friend I would like to provide a word of caution regarding the purported study of paranormal beliefs and delusional thinking mentioned in your post. As you well know any body of so-called intellectuals can put forth their study and offer up the sources of their "research", but I urge you to truly examine their reference material. Other than the very credible publication shown in the lower row center featuring our very own Steve Jacobs (uncredited pending litigation), the rest are IMHO rubbish. A glaring omission is that of MAD Magazine, the leading and deeply insightful publication of all thoughts and subjects considered not normal. The long standing presence and sage commentary of Roger Kaputnick as its primary focus, combined with its trademark image of boy genius Alfred E. Neuman, speaks volumes to its credibility; plus the accordion folding feature of its last page was a welcome conclusion for the reader.

Strapping bombs to beautiful butterflies...my God, these people are truly monsters. I know they used Mosquitos to bomb in WWII but no one likes mosquitos.
Oh...btw, AGMT is short for "Almost Greenwich Mean Time" and pertains to those who reside within spitting distance of GMT but are in fact minutes or even seconds "off" as it were.
