The world is ending.

Oh really?

 

Indeed.

 

Aren't you smart? -.-

 

I do like to think so, yes.

 

Well--if you're smart, can you solve any math problem? If you can--then hands down. You're the smartest person I knew.

 

IS THIS A CHALLENGE!? DO YOU ACCEPT, FEENIE? ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH? SHOW HER WHO'S BOSS!

 

Just so you know--I got a 3.5 for a grade point average in highschool even when I get distracted.

 

How many posts is it gonna take for you to realize that you are not gonna win against Feenie, he's the nicest and coolest members here. I'm very sorry to say this but you are starting a argument for no reason at all.[DOUBLEPOST=1356128893][/DOUBLEPOST]

It's your fault for starting a argument with him.

 

Just so you know--he started the argument. I just posted what I had to say and he replied to my post.

 

Dude he was kidding with you.

 

Well--sorry if I didn't take it as a joke. That's what happens to me sometimes--I take things seriously.

 

Intelligence is not based solely on one's aptitude for arithmetic.

I'm all woman.

 

Uh--what? o_O

 

Feenie is very in touch with his feminine side. LIKE A REAL MAN!

 

I can show you pics, if you'd like.
