Yeah, and that's what I fear it would be. A friend of mine recently joined and he's got a big head as is, so he's been a particular turd about it. Many times (when he's drunk) he'll bring it up as a point in an argument. Ergo: "Just because there are gaps in the theory of evolution doesn't mean that creationism is true." ... "Yeah well, I'm in Mensa, so...."
Not even joking. He denies he does it while sober, and we all just laugh at him... but I fear what a room with less social intelligence than him would do (that terrifying inverse relationship between genius and social competence)...
Of course, the quickest way to shut him up is to ask when he's going to join Intertel, which pisses him off fairly
