[One Love]

Of course Tarantino has an IQ of 160, he's the BOSS.

[DonDadda59]

With the exception of Lundgren, Raven, and the porno chick... not really surprising.

[i seen hippos]

I wonder how much action Dolph got. I mean if his looks didn't get him a girl he could just use scientific equations to convince (or confuse) girls to have sex with him.

[plowking]

I can't take James Woods seriously after the episode of family guy.

[Doomsday Dallas]

Never heard of her, so I just watched some of her work.

Does she read books while she is having sex? What the hell is going on?

[i seen hippos]

How have you never heard of Asia Carrera. She's big time.

[vapid]

What is this ranking by IQ? Thats a pretty useless statistic to rank by, and I lol at the makers of this list "estimating" the IQ.

I knew somebody would bring this up. It might be a useless statistic, but it is the easiest way.

[vapid]

I also like how Steve Martin's credentials are "got a degree at a second rate Californian university and wanted to become someone who could potentially be smart. IQ power level 152."

[Knicks101]

An Asian chick is a good piano player?:eek:

[ZeN]

How the hell is this the first time you heard of Asia Carrera?I don't want to sound clueless, but I never heard of her either. :confusedshrug:

[bigkingsfan]

I don't want to sound clueless, but I never heard of her either. :confusedshrug:
She was one of the most popular porn star in the 90's

Was in vivid, the most popular porn company, should be a household name.

If you're 20+ plus now, you SHOULD know her if you've been following the porn industry.

[~primetime~]

that really is pretty suprising Dooms...

I would say that you could maybe use being married as an excuse but I knew who she was like 15 years ago...I think she even had an MTV Cribs or something like that...I can remeber seeing her home on some show, can't remember though...

she is just a step down from Jenna Jameson as far as fame goes...(I assume you do know who Jenna Jameson is right?)



another fun fact about Asia Carrera is that she is addicted to online gaming...so for those of you that play World of Warcraft it is possible that you may have played against her...

[momo]

Steve Martin does not surprise me a bit. He used to come into a french restaurant I worked at and he SEEMS smart as hell.

[hayden695]

isnt david Ducouvney really smart and knows like a bunch of languages. wonder what his iq is. F*ck James Woods.

[MarloStanfield]

With the exception of Lundgren, Raven, and the porno chick... not really surprising.
QFT.

[Manute for Ever!]

With the exception of Lundgren, Raven, and the porno chick... not really surprising.

You're right, the word "surprisingly" wasn't really required...

If he dies, he dies.

[HighFlyer23]

yeah they had her on cribs. she is also a big time gamer and geek and runs her own website. actually ran it, meaning coding, server issues, everything. not just hired someone else to do it.

that's awesome...

I wonder if I could take her in CS Source...

[AtticusPigeon11]

IIRC Shakira is quite brilliant as well.

Also, got to second Vapid's mini-rant.

I guess some basketball players fall under this category as well.

[Clifton]

where are they getting these IQ numbers from?

Re Steve Martin: I'm pretty sure he actually ended up transferring to and graduating from UCLA. Which is the top public school in the country I think. And yes he is definitely smart. He and Conan O'Brien are probably the most intelligent people who can be found on an LCD screen near you that I know of.

And I really didn't think I was still capable of being this insecure, but I'm actually kind of angry at these people for both being famous and having a higher IQ than me (assuming those numbers are right). You can't all three be famous, happy and smart. You're only allowed 2 of those.
