I was in a hotel in which a MENSA convention was being held a few years ago. By the second day, I noticed that all of the public bathrooms said, "MEN(handwritten)SA".

Even nerds have a sense of humor.

4Runner, Mensa is a social organization like many others, just using tested minimum I.Q. as the entry requirement. That requirement is not all that stiff.
The minimum requirement is not based on an IQ number, because IQ tests vary. The requirement is that the candidate score in the top two percentile on any given test.

This equates to one out of every fifty people eligible to join Mensa.

Does anyone actually buy into this mensa bullshit? It seems to me like another money-making scheme to me. An ex-member said you have to pay dues...
Dues are $52 / year which includes subscriptions to national and local publications.

Hey, that's equivalent to 1 D per W.
