tokenadult, thanks for posting the article on "Mary Little-Savant _ the daughter of local garbage man Bud Savant and his wife Agnes Little, a semiprofessional Beanie Baby collector"

Quote:
The precocious youngster dazzled the panel by pointing out several previously undiscovered flaws in Einstein's "Theory of Relativity" and quickly translating her findings into a lyrical sequence of Latin anagrams.

Then, left alone in the Mensa testing room, she critically dissected Immanuel Kant's "Categorical Imperative" in a spirited debate with her Malibu Philosopher Barbie.

When the panel of intelligence experts returned to the room, Little-Savant left them slack-jawed by defeating IBM's famed Deep Blue computer in a tense game of "Candyland." ...Little-Savant _ who has renamed her three favorite Beanie Babies after Copernicus, Michelangelo and Lao-Tzu _ has posters of Leonardo Da Vinci and Leonardo Di Caprio hanging side by side in her room.

As the new school year draws near, she is said to be considering skipping third grade to pursue a quadruple PhD in algebraic psychology, political photosynthesis, forensic theology and Euclidian geothermal metaphysics.
The little savant - great stuff although John Breneman did not venture to map out possible career plans.
