HP just announced the HAL10000 computer and is displaying it at the
computer show. Anyone who cares to, can walk right up and carry on a
conversation with the machine. So the first person steps up and the
HAL10000 says, "Good Morning I'm a HAL10000 computer, if you will tell
me your IQ, we can have a conversation."
Well, the guy responds, "I have an IQ of 160." So the HAL10000 says,
"Very well, let's discuss Einsteinium tensor mechanics in close
proximity to a singularity event horizon." And so they did.
Later, another guy walks up and exclaims, "My IQ is 110." So the
HAL10000 says, "Very well, let's discuss the working of the internal
combustion engine." And so they did.
Finally, this third guy walks up and says, "My IQ is 65." So the
HAL10000 replies, "G'day mate."

A skilled licenced sea captain wanted to become like Capt. Neal, so
he
visited a doctor to find out how to go about this. "Well" said the
doctor,
"this is a very delicate operation and there is a lot that can go
wrong. I
will have to remove half your brain". "That's OK" said the skilled
licenced
sea captain. "I've always wanted to be like Capt. Neal and I'm
prepared to
take the risk".
The operation went ahead but the skilled licenced sea captain woke
to find a
look of horror on the face of the doctor. "I'm so terribly sorry!!"
the
doctor said. "Instead of removing half the brain, I've taken the
whole brain
out". The patient replied, "No worries, mate!!"
