-We already reviewed that he has the ability to affect the outcome to matches with his mathematical equations. I'm assuming it was these equations that also allowed man to land on the moon. Probably working on equation to solve all diseases right now.


I'll concede that the genius has affected the outcome of matches with mathematical equations (or inequalities they actually appeared to be upon close review).

I've already laid claim that it was Newton's calculus that allowed man to land on the moon (if it really happened, that is).  That's quite the baseless assumption in your effort to steal my thunder here.

And an equation to solve all diseases, eh?  Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer.  It's too bad he's never cried.


That's funny..."Allowed"...

Because no matter who contributed....Neil Armstrong DID it. (allegedly).

I mean we can thank Newton and the control room at Nasa and Tom Hanks and Morgan Freeman (they were involved, right?) and the custodial engineers for all I care.

But Neil did it. Allegedly.

Now I know you're an impostor. Chuck Norris CRY?  I think not!  Make others cry for mercy perhaps, but Chuck cry?  NEVER.

Unless of course it's for a good cause, like curing cancer  :)
Yup

(Sarcastic applause)

Congratulations, you picked a guy who threw a lot of stuff against the wall, some Hollywood producer liked one of the ideas and they made a TV show about it. Wow. I'm blown away by the intelligence.

And I think Redz has already done a great job disspelling your Chuck Norris claims. I own Invasion USA, people who get into a bazooka fight in an office building don't cry.

Meanwhile I've got the Genius & Troy McClure, who've already been covered, a chief architect in the building of the hoverboard (who by the way, also travels in a TIME MACHINE), the inventor of kitten mittens/ song writer of 'day man' and 'night man', and a member of a band who wrote a wedding song so popular that it has been number one in Japan since 1994.

Wisdom isn't intelligence.  There's conventional wisdom, but not conventional intelligence. Y'know, like my team has.

Also, how wise is Zeus if his old lady keeps catching him sleeping around with mortal hussies?
