Does french have any syllables that are pronounced similarly to "ow"? I don't think I have heard such a syllable in french before, but I may be wrong there. It could be the reason and the evolution of this mispronunciation.
So, I recently found my old psych report from when I was diagnosed with ADD, and while reading through it (I was a crazy kid) I found I took an intelligence test and got a score that would get me into MENSA. I have no desire to be in MENSA, really, accept that it might look impressive on a resume. So, is there any chance that the MENSA boost on my resume could be worth $63/year?
If you think it'll help, just take the test and pay the fee before you start looking for jobs, then don't pay the fee the following year long after you've acquired said job.

Never understood MENSA. If you're smart enough to get in, you should be smart enough to not want to be in.
What is the point of Mensa? Are they a group for the acceptance of people with problems brought on by high intelligence?
It's a non-profit composed of people in the 98th percentile according to IQ, basically. Most of what the organization does is programs for gifted children, funding education, literary programs and awards, and higher education scholarships. They also do meetings, encourage research, provide a bit of a network for qualified people to connect to other qualified people if they need their expertise, and so on. They're on the up and up, even if it's not the most useful thing to be in for all people.

On my first neuro-psych exam they had to check to make sure I wasn't a genius.
My dealings with Mensa people have been pretty mixed. Some of them have only been discernibly intelligent on paper. There's also the triple nines. A former employer of mine specifically went to meetings in some silly attempts to hook up with an extraordinarily smart girl because he had some ubermensch complex about having a genius kid.
I definitely had some issues with taking on way too much caffeine on a daily basis between coffee and soda, food that was easy to get to wasn't necessarily the best, and laundry was a fucking ordeal in the dorms well beyond what it should be.
I love my private apartment, personal laundry machines, and not having to clean up after anyone else in the kitchen sooo much.

Truth. Being intelligent doesn't mean someone isn't a right dickhead.
Well I'm personally still working on eating right, but I have feeding myself down pretty well. I was competent in the kitchen before college.
I used to buy these frozen "Create A Meal" packs with vegetables and sauce, then some boneless chicken back before you needed a second mortgage to buy boneless chicken, and some rice. It wasn't the best thing ever, but I ate.
My cooking is still pretty simple but it's come up a bit. ;-)
1. Dinner rolls 2. Fresh salad greens and related salad stuff 3. Ham steaks 4. Cans of vegetables
Other than the greens themselves, salad stuff (croutons, sunflower seeds, walnuts, cheese, etc...) lasts quite a while. Make a big salad every other day and eat it for two days alongside whatever you cook.
Ask Emily. I make a mean damn salad at this point. ;^)

Holy shit you know about the ham steak! People keep saying it's a myth.

(I live in Germany, so this serves me well.)
But maybe it isn't a scam. I've never cared enough to find out.

Going to bed on time was probably my biggest issue. Everything else, you did or you stunk. Who wants to stink?
