Do you rob people at cashpoints and set up camp in public parks, leaving behind a mess of car tyres and used needles once you finally leave?
Sounds like Occupy Wall Street and Idle No More.

12-year-old British Gypsy girl scores higher than Einstein on IQ test

Once, I thought Einstein was genius; now I think he is intelligent, but not genius; it is only the propaganda of those who consider themselves superior to other people by mental capability.
It is the politics; they wanted at certain time, when he was alive to make him the president of Tel Aviv government.

I doubt about his theories and scientific inventions and so on ..

Big deal.
Firstly, there is no direct relation between IQ and age, certainly not a linnear one. Secondly, IQ fluctuates within an individual. And many people have been around whose IQs were higher that either Einstein or Hawking. James Woods, for instance, has been clocked at 184. Shakira Mebarak (1 of my fave singers and philanthropists) has been clocked at 140, Dexter Holland (a musician with The Offspring and scientist in molecular biology) has been clocked at 170, my hubby scored 147 on his last quiz a few decades ago, I have a friend in Portland, OR who scored 178 when she tested, etc. etc. ad nauseum.
Also, Mensa is not as prestigious as people seem to think as there are other clubs whose entrance qualifications are stiffer than Mensa's, the Triple-9 Society, for example: The Triple Nine Society > Welcome to TNS

Gypsies do that? well, if they do and they are breeding people with high IQs, I guess that means the rest of you are doomed between the brilliant gypsies and the Muslims. :D

He invented nothing and his theories are useless fictions. Hawking is even worse.

Tesla got some free gifts from Westinghouse, which branch of the military gets the kid first?

You must be aware by now that the 'big announcements' come from the ones that are close to their deathbeds as they know what they are about to publish would get them killed if they did it earlier. Just another day at the office.

Might as well surrender now.

It makes my blood boil, when people start comparing students by their IQ. There are various IQ tests that can be used for testing procedures. A IQ test was given to white, middle class students. Then then gave the same test to students in the ghetto's in New York.. They scored quite poorly on the first test. Then the test was written from the ghetto point of view,. On that test the ghetto students scored higher than the middle class students.
