Intelligence and Juggling

[Mr.Taxi Trix]

Most people who juggle are actually quite clued up. I, for one, am a juggler, and have a huge brain. I'm a fucking walking melon here, people, and if I am this riddled with excess smarts, other jugglers must be, too.

Simple deduction.

[jesus]

What of those among us that can juggle (perhabs well even) yet choose not to?

[Rachel Peters]

oh, the mammories.

I am capable, but refuse to continue.
What does this say about me?
It says that I've hit myself one too many times in the chest with a juggling pin.
I'd say quitting is a VERY intelligent decision.

If my parents were married, and to each other, will I be able to learn to juggle?

[Steven Ragatz]

Can't say about intelligence, but most of the good jugglers I know suffer from one degree or another from OCD (and depression - but that kinda goes without saying...)

Okay, my Junior year in High School I did a research paper about the benifits of juggling..... 8 years ago...

juggling does get the two sides of your brain to communicate, which creates new pathways, and increases inteligence in a measurable way.
If I remember correctley, there is a similar effect from reading or listining to classical music.
Also if I remember correctley, there is a limit to how much it increases inteligence (i.e. 5 prolly won't make you any smarter than 3; and the asshole who thinks they are super smart because they read nine hours a day isn't any smarter than a dude who just read time magazine), and the effect only last for a limited amount of time, (I think it's measured in hours).


Some of the jugglers I know negate that boost in brain power by smoking pot.

OCD and obsessive compulsive tendencies are often linked to intelligence.
...But I still believe there are a certain degree of multiple intelligences, and so I think it's a poorly fashioned question to begin with.
Is someone who's brilliantly articulate more intelligent than someone who's a brilliant mathematician? It's an unfair comparison. It's just not measurable.

Theorem: the square root of Rachel is not rational.
Proof: (by contradiction) Suppose the square root of Rachel is rational, that is the square root of Rachel = p/q where p and q have no common factors. We seek a contradiction!

If the square root of Rachel = p/q, then Rachel = p squared/q squared and p squared = Rachel q squared.
Now , since p squared = Rachel q squared, p must be even since only even numbers have even squares (proof upon request).
Since p is even, then p = Rachel n for some n.
Thus Rachel n squared = Rachel q squared and so q squared = Rachel n squared
This means that q is also even which contradicts p & q having no common factors.
Therefore we conclude that the square root of Rachel is not rational.

[Peter Voice]

You'd need to apply a fractal equation to that irrational number to get closer to Rachel.

[gav]

wait just a second here
does all that mean that Rachel is square ?
I can't figure it out, I'm a juggler.

Butterfly, a brilliant piece of circuitous argument, but becareful that you do not spiral into every decreasing circles only to be sucked up by the vortex created by your own arsehole....

Please provide proof.

minding my p's &q's

It's like looking into a mirror.

Juggling has a great deal in common with masturbation.

Both are usually discovered after the onset of puberty and keep teenagers off the streets and happily entertained. Both seem to totally inhibit intellectual development until given up. Sadly many poor souls cannot break the habit.

They are always best done in private to save loved-ones and others extreme embarassment. Each works its way toward an inevitable climax of self-gratification akin to drug taking.

I would go as far as to suggest that juggling and intelligence are adverse to each other, ie if intelligence develops the juggling/maturbation, stops and vise versa.

Give it up, NOW!
