...he's an old friend, but his abilities of photographic memory plus calculator mind make him tough to be around more than once in a while. Thankfully, Grumman is NE of Washington DC, whew!

So you're telling me he's a Salarian?

If they guy really talks like that, I find it hard to believe anyone could be around that guy for longer than 10 seconds.

Or this is the best troll thread ever.

At least he has the virtue of being super smart. A lot of the guys around here that I can't stand for more than 10 seconds don't even have that going for them!

Reminds me of someone...

"I'm not a psychopath; I'm a high-functioning sociopath!"

I agree. He really is fun to have as that interesting outlier in a group. But....you don't want a bunch of one-on-one time because, well, taking the life of another human being is greatly frowned upon.

Yes, this, he is a living example of what Cumberbatch portrays quite wonderfully.

Assuming we take this anecdote at face value, I think this is the wrong attitude. Hanging out with smart people makes you smarter, and I relish time with people more intelligent than me.

Look at it this way - we're impatient and short when dealing with people that we deem stupid. Well, that works both ways... We should humble ourselves if it means an opportunity to learn.
