I'm surprised she didn't get mixed up where to place that 1 and stick it on
the backside of 36.

Half of the US population is of below average intelligence. I'd never
seen Bove as a member of the "upper crust".

Furthermore, the minimum accepted score on the Stanford€“Binet for
membership in Mensa is 132.

I like to use my own system of intelligence: Smart people talk about ideas and concepts, average people talk about "things", stupid people talk about other people.

This also works for rating emotional intelligence. Some of the posters here have the emotional intelligence of a 12 year old. It's quite an interesting thing to witness.

I like to discuss the concept of "other people".

Let's be stupid and talk about Eleanor Roosevelt.

As you wish. Does anybody know what her bra size was? I'll bet it was a fairly decent size. She had Rachel Ray beaver teeth - ugh! At least RR is perky. I'll have to give you that.

Doubtful. It never looked like much in those dresses of the 20's, 30's and
40's.

No, Eleanor did not have pretty choppers but her false teeth looked better.

Not verified by my quick google search. I first heard the expression in
the sixties, so it was before that. I'd love to actually know who said
it first. Talking any one of the three all day would be boring to me.

Nobody seems to know who said it first. Still, dsi1 presents it as his
own, which it certainly is not.

I am not discounting the possibility that her claim is based on one of
those click bait FaceBook IQ tests where they suck you in to try a test
claiming that 90% of people cannot answer more than 4 of the questions.

You've seen those, too?? I've not seen them on FB but have seen them on the
internet; "clickbait."

Yep. I fell for them a few times. I'd do the test and think that only
someone at the far left of the bell curve would not ace it.

While I do doubt her assertion, my point was she thinks steaming
vegetables is somehow wrong. Of course she'd never make something like
cauliflower gratin but if she did she'd attempt to use raw cauliflower
and then wonder why it burned to a crisp and no one would eat it.

I never said it was wrong. I don't like the texture of steamed veggies. You
just seem overly fond of it! I don't like cooked cauliflower in and of
itself. A little bit in a soup is fine. A little bit of raw, eaten as is, is
fine.

I am not overly fond of steaming vegetables. Sometimes it is necessary
to achieve the desired result. I don't actually care if you like the
texture.

Well there ya go! You don't like it. No surprise there.

A little bit in a soup is fine. A little bit of raw, eaten as

Yeah, yeah.

It's funny. I love cabbage in soup. But putting cauliflower or
broccoli in soup (for me) gives an overwhelming taste, way beyond
anything cabbage could do.

sorry. In my version of the conversation the little bit in soup part
shows as coming from you.

That's how I feel about cabbage. It's okay raw but I don't care or it
cooked. A very small amount in a soup is fine. Broccoli? I can't eat it
cooked. no matter what you do to it!

I love the broccoli stems and really don't like the tops. Nasty mouth
feel.
