Confusing the Spanish
I certainly hope there was some irony intended when MENSA chose their name. While I think all of the contributors to polyscifi [ed - and readers!! - Both of them] would qualify for membership in MENSA, I’m not certain I would want to join. Partly because of Groucho Marx’s line: "I don't care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members."
But mostly it’s kinda silly to join a “Club for smart people” whose name means “Stupid”
What I really wonder is why this group of people in Mexico chose to join MENSA...
