Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle: The little man in the elevator Yes Yes who lost it. Then why do they call it research. Lost or thought or not enough belief that anything would happen to even bother to write it down. One must be aware that others have thought something either part or even all of an idea.
The funniest complyments ever paid to me was when I was posing questions as kind of riddles, to see if the Professors new what I might be thinking. I figured the use of a kind of a riddles might cause smiles.
No bodies face is that blank though with more than one caddle burning upstairs.
A enraged Graduate Student came up to me afterwards and said.
"What makes me mad is, I can not tell if your smart or you just think that way."
This would have to qualify as a intellectually blind rage. Not enough to harm any one but showing signs of an I.Q. lowering. He had studied hard and had no idea how much thought I had put to that subject and rage for that matter.
