Marc, I'm an American, and I'll match my ICQ or IQ with you any day. That is if I really cared about IQ numbers. In the days I was in school, the "wisdom" of the schools dictated that children shouldn't know their own IQ's. I guess they thought it would corrupt the kids. Who knows? I'm smart. You're smart. You're a darned good artist. You're better than me. But I take exception to your comment about Americans and their ICQs/IQs.
