Are we there yet?????? :-D :-D :-D :-D

No, barely halfway yet. Its exhausting yet strangely interesting, isnt it.


zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

It's loverly, sad ain't I, am easy pleased. :-D

Now what about this 4year old girl with the IQ 159,
one below Stephen Hawkins, amazing don't ya think? :-)

Emma

Interesting, but one must wonder if an IQ so high in one so young is credible, or even a product of being a 'prodigious savant'.

I always wonder about thse incredibly high IQ tests. They are very controversial!

Agree, I find it quite frightening, but apparently she was
reading books aimed at 7year old when she was 2, not
precocious in any way and dads a university lecturer.
How do you keep these children active and still hold
on to their childhood, would not like that problem. Hope
she can cope in later years.

Emma

THings seem to even out for these children as they grow older. No doubt she will be groomed and become a scientist or suchlike, and thats great.

But yes, I agree. A childhood is more important than being an amazing academic at that age.

Good luck to her whatever field she goes into, science etc.
a future in the making, hopefully to benefit us all.

Emma

Aha! I see this is turning into a chat thread.

There is a Tavern in the Town
F. J. Adams, 1891


There is a tavern in the town, in the town,
And there my dear love sits him down, sits him down,
And drinks his wine 'mid laughter free,
And never, never thinks of me.

Chorus:
Fare thee well, for I must leave thee,
Do not let the parting grieve thee,
And remember that the best of friends must part, must part
Adieu, adieu, kind friends adieu, adieu, adieu,
I can no longer stay with you, stay with you,
I'll hang my harp on a weeping willow tree,
And may the world go well with thee.

He left me for a damsel dark, damsel dark,
Each Friday night they used to spark, used to spark,
And now my love once true to me,
Takes that dark damsel on his knee.
Chorus:

Oh! dig my grave both wide and deep, wide and deep,
Put tombstones at my head and feet, head and feet,
And on my breast carve a turtle dove,
To signify I died of love.
Chorus:

What does it mean "Each Friday night they used to spark, used to spark" ?

I don't know Sue.:-D....the 1890's had a language of it's own
