I am blinded by my own intelligence. Academic Quiz Bowl was today and I knew a lot of random facts. Witness my brilliance: What what Beethoven's only opera? (Fidelio.) How was Trotsky killed? (With an ice-pick to the back of the head. What kind of an idea was that?) What famous artist believed that he could receive radio messages through his mustache and once showed up at an art conference in a diving suit claiming that the suit was the source of all his powers? (Salvador Dali.)
