Anybody from the UK, what does mensa mean?
Mensa was founded in England in 1946 by Roland Berrill, a barrister, and Dr. Lance Ware, a scientist and lawyer. They had the idea of forming a society for bright people, the only qualification for membership of which was a high IQ. The original aims were, as they are today, to create a society that is non-political and free from all racial or religious distinctions. The society welcomes people from every walk of life whose IQ is in the top 2% of the population, with the objective of enjoying each other's company and participating in a wide range of social and cultural activities.
Men·sa [ ménssə ]
noun
1. constellation in the southern hemisphere: a faint constellation, found between Hydrus and Volans in the southern hemisphere, that forms part of the Large Magellanic Cloud
2. high-IQ organization: an international organization for people with a very high IQ. Members are admitted after passing an IQ test.
[Mid-20th century. From Latin, ??table.?]

More than one definition.
that reminds me of a joke ....A bunch of mensa members went out for lunch, and soon after sitting at their table noticed that the salt shaker was full of pepper and the pepper shaker full of salt. Being the intelligent people that they were, they set out to determine how to transfer the contents of each shaker to their proper place, using only utinsels available to them at their table. When the waitress came to take their order, they reported that the salt and pepper were in the wrong shakers, but that they had a plan to rectify the problem using a napkin, a spoon and a straw. The embarrased waitress apologized, then promptly switched the caps on the salt and peper shakers. :p
hahaha..nice one, SomeGuy :D
Us hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings, often forget about the simple solutions lol ;)
When NASA discovered biros don't work in space they spent millions developing a pen that would write anywhere , even underwater.
