Why Night Owls Are More Intelligent Than Morning Larks
3Ha Ha Ha. FTW!
My absolute lack of self-discipline is apparently proof that I’m fabulous.

… An analysis of a large representative sample of young Americans confirms this prediction. Net of a large number of social and demographic factors, more intelligent children grow up to be more nocturnal as adults than less intelligent children. Compared to their less intelligent counterparts, more intelligent individuals go to bed later on weeknights (when they have to get up at a certain time the next day) and on weekends (when they don’t), and they wake up later on weekdays (but not on weekends, for which the positive effect of childhood intelligence on adult nocturnality is not statistically significant). For example, those with a childhood IQ of less than 75 (“very dull”) go to bed around 23:41 on weeknights in early adulthood, whereas those with a childhood IQ of over 125 (“very bright”) go to bed around 00:29…

By who’s standards are we defining a weekend as mean or not?
@PlacidPenguin Good question. I always preferred the even-tempered weekends. And as a teen, I was usually asleep by 10:30 PM and up by 6 AM. If we extended the chart, that would give me an IQ of about 20.
@rockblossom
Not the definition of ‘mean’ which I meant.
@PlacidPenguin Why, whatever do you mean?
@rockblossom
Wait…
The first part of your initial post knew what I meant.
@PlacidPenguin
You’re being mean to @rockblossom, whose mode is medium median.
@f00l Nah. I’m more the a la mode type, and I avoid the median, because … crazy drivers.
@f00l
If I wanted to be mean, I’d post a picture of myself.
@rockblossom
But medium-crazy-mean drivers are at home on the Range.
@PlacidPenguin
@rockblossom
Meh.
@f00l … where the deer and the antelope play … through.
@rockblossom
It’s middling, dear.
@rockblossom
She needs room for about 112 ducks…
@f00l And I wanted to be a medium, but I always missed the meetings.
@rockblossom
I’m meeting the medium, but I’m not meating the mean.

Thank goodness! Something my Mom can be proud of. Cussed since I was young-because you always learn things from your friends- got even better when I was a deputy
and the dumbass motherfuckers didn’t think I should be (even saying it while having a gun 
strapped to my body) until I pulled two of them hit by bullets out of the range of fire 
of the determined asshole who thought we should be dead for interrupting his stand-off. And I’m the one who shot the gun out of his hand without injuring said determined asshole
.Then I got even better with my vocabulary (but still suck at punctuation) when I found my true calling (after getting injured 
while on duty) by working as a 911 operator 
on third shift dealing with officers, troopers, deputies, medics, firefighters (one of whom I was already married to
), co-workers and of course the public. But, I sure as hell enjoyed it! My family says I’m messy but I keep trying to tell them that my OCD has it under control and all neatly stacked in piles the way I like it
,and yes, I emojied the shit out of this. Maybe too much personal info 
but no take backs. Thank you @fOOl for posting my (some-what-of-a) redemption.
@WTFsunshine
All sounds good to me. Especially the deputy stuff, wow.
