Dantes is a translator by trade, so is his wife (who agrees that fiancee is correct), so we should probably believe him.

Let's talk more about your hot girlfriend.

fyp a little, I'm of the mind that if we borrow a word from another language we should keep the same usage and spelling. I'll look it up though cause I now care.

fu for making me time out with AA while typing this :-P

I don't know about a positive correlation between hotness and girls knowing what NASA stands for. It seems like the majority of hot girls I meet in life are pretty dumb.

Furthermore, colleges known for hot girls (The U, ASU, etc.) generally aren't known for academics. MIT? Not so much.

prob not too much correlation between looks and overall intelligence, but nerdy stuff like probability of going to Harvard or working at NASA is fairly negative imo. the hotties are gonna use their intelligence to work up the social ladder and ****

I lost track of her when she went to college.

In more recent times, I sat next to a gal on an airplane (early 30's, solid 9) who was working on her phd in some medically related field, and had a book published that was selling well.

I think there is a small correlation between social skills and attractiveness in women and to a smaller degree intelligence. Generally good looking girls get given a free pass in alot of areas so don't receive the same social pressures that an average looking girl would from men.

I also think there is a correlation although not as big with intelligence because of the same reasons, girls being handed lots of stuff and not developing a work ethic which is important in intelligence.

My gf is beautiful and intelligent though.

Saw you in the sat last night blinding down with 26 left.

Gratz on making it. I had a pretty healthy stack from about 30 left onwards so it wasn't as much of a sweat, but either way gj

All I know is that I'm ALWAYS seated in the box for every high stakes tournament I play that starts 10 handed. Usually a pointy elbowed dealer on one side and some sort of american hybrid sumo guy on the other. Sadly, my beats start b4 the cards are in the air. On top of that, it seems like those kind of torture tables never break, but if youre sitting next to some young hottie that is spewing chips the table isnt together for an orbit. FML

cya there

Was sweating this at the end. How far did your heart sink when the big stack flopped the open ender and one overcard when you shoved with JJ? Very nice hold!

Apparently the "Invitational" will only have 36 spots?

How bad is staying in the car?

Sigh...
