    Excepting that intelligence cannot be measured by those standards. Can it, therefore, be considered an insult if the presupposition is invalid?

    An insult is based upon intent. No matter how it is couched, if the intent of what was said or done is to denigrate, then it is an insult. Those who perceive an insult where one was not meant are merely insulting themselves.

    I thought it was rather that the average woman values beauty over brains because she knows that the average man can see better than he can think? :)

    If he had to translate the insult for him, then the insult probably was about him.

    Is myopia only the result of genetics? If so, is myopia only passed down from the female or can it also be inherited from the male?

    Interestingly and to the contrary from Wiki:

    “Education, intelligence, and IQ A number of studies have shown that the prevalence of myopia increases with level of education[38][41] and many studies have shown a relationship between myopia and IQ.

    According to Arthur Jensen, myopes average 7-8 IQ points higher than non-myopes. The relationship also holds within families, and siblings with a higher degree of refraction error average higher IQs than siblings with less refraction error. Jensen believes that this indicates myopia and IQ are pleiotropically related as they are caused or influenced by the same genes. No specific mechanism that could cause a relationship between myopia and IQ has yet been identified.

    Also other personal characteristics, as value systems, school achievements, time spent in reading for pleasure, language abilities and time spent in sport activities correlated to the occurrence of myopia in studies.”

    Mr. Spock,

    for a Vulcan, you make your share of illogical statements. The validity of the statement is not the issue. The intent was to insult. Peter’s very nature is to insult those around him. Even cavemen have characteristics. ”If I drop a hammer on a planet with a positive gravity, I need not see it fall to know that it has in fact fallen.” - Spock from Court Martial

    On the other hand, if Curls hadn’t said anything, the intended insult would probably have gone over Clumsy Carp’s head and probably over most of ours too.

    Well, this assumes that no one catches it before it falls.

    It may be a simple genetic mechanism. Genes coding for larger eyes (seen in myopia) also code for larger brains. Perhaps noses and other things are larger, too?

    I like to see Peter say that when the fat broad is around. How far would he get before she caught him and clobbered him.

    Basic evolution; those with poor eyesite & low inteligence are less likely to survive long enough to reproduce. Isn’t Peter always wrong?
