I managed to bike home from school (3.5km) in a bit more than 7 minutes.

Uuh.

I have nothing witty or interesting on this topic.

Fact: In D&D, a Wizard's spells are more powerful with a higher Intelligence. In fact, a Wizard must have an Intelligence score of at least 10 + Spell Level to even cast a spell.

Fact: According to the D&D 3.5 FAQ, and several implications from earlier editions, one point of Intelligence equates to 10 points of IQ.

Fact: IQ is dependent on the population, and needs to be rescaled every so often to keep the average at 100.

Conclusion: Wizards derive their power, not from being smart, but from being smarter than everyone else.

Corollary: If you wish to weaken a mighty wizard in preparation for a duel, simply murder the stupidest half of the population. Repeat until the average intellect is recentered at, or above, your target's own.

EDIT: You may be able to accomplish a similar result by handing out Headbands of Intellect by the truckload, but only to those with an already-low Intelligence score. I'm a bit too lazy to work out whether the global shift in intellect that results would amplify or dampen the effects of the headbands. It would certainly require a lot of work to figure out exactly how many to hand out, and to whom; murder is probably more cost-effective than utopia.

I have 15.6 Int points. Therefore, I can cast 5th level spells.

Back in the old days, low IQ usually meant sterilization. And in Nazi Germany, well, shit happened. Someone really hated wizards.

Yeah, I was hoping to avoid linking what's basically stupid rules bullshit to real-world events, because the only relevant ones are waaaaayyyyyy off-topic.

I signed up for an Introduction to Philosophy class for next year.
I regret nothing, and everything, and what is regret? Does it exist?!

I'm feeling good about my appearance for some reasons.

I AM THE OVERLORD, FOR I HAVE WON IN THE 1000 BLANK WHITE CARDS!
Feels nice to win in a forum game.

[Graknorke]

I feel unusually drawn to the new Longitude Prize thing, even though I have no practical skills that could help me win at all. That won't stop me from having irrational optimism though. It's something I don't get to feel very often.

Hyrule Warriors is looking fantastic!

I wanna play as Tingle.

Great, they've made Link look even more like a girl
