Whats the purpose of sending an 11 year old to college? Cant get a job no matter how intelligent the child is.
A 14 year old with absolutely nothing to do. Parents probably rushed him through for bragging rights.

actually if you REALLY think about it, it could be a very logical conclusion/decision to come to; no manipulation or mental issue necessary...
i'm sure most prolly know this one: it has been pretty much an open secret that the historical Jesus Christ was not born anywhere near December, but Christmas is pretty close to and has many of the same characteristics of the roman pagan holiday of saturnalia & it is thought that it was used as way to convert many pagans to Christianity...

How do you gauge Galileo's IQ before IQ tests existed?
Btw Sir Issac Newton is the most brilliant dude in recorded history. All my opinion tho.
Dude discovered calculus just to explain his astrophysics theories.

I can understand that, which is why it's dumb to compare genius of different eras. But i personally feel that Sir Issac Newton made a greater contribution than a lot of others in the modern era.
Im not comparing the two but moreso stating my opinion.

Actor Woody Harrelson’s father – Charles Harrelson – was a well-paid hitman who, despite serving a prison sentence, continued to kill for money. In 1973, he served five years out of a 15-year prison sentence for the murder of Sam Degelia Jr.; however, in 1979, he killed again for money. This time he murdered a Federal judge and was sentenced to two life sentences. Charles ended up dying in prison of a heart attack in 2007.

Not true. Testify comes from "testis" which means to witness. And the castration part is ludicrous.

39 things about back to the future
1. President Ronald Reagan quoted the film in his 1986 State of the Union speech saying, “never has there been a more exciting time to be alive — a time of rousing wonder and heroic achievement. As they said in the film Back To The Future, ‘where we’re going, we don’t need roads.’”
2. When President Reagan saw the scene where Doc Brown laughs in disbelief over Marty McFly informing him that Ronald Reagan “the actor” was president in 1985 he enjoyed it so much that he asked the projectionist to replay it.
3. Huey Lewis, who provided “Power of Love” and “Back in Time” to the film’s soundtrack, is the judge in the battle of the bands scene who tells McFly that his music is “too darn loud.”
View media item 1070760
4. John DeLorean sent a fan letter to writers Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis thanking them for “keeping my dream alive” by using his car in the movies.
5. Universal Studio’s head Sid Sheinberg didn’t like the title because he didn’t think anyone would watch a film with the word “future” in the title and wanted it changed to “Spaceman From Pluto.”
6. However Sheinberg had some great ideas as well — he was responsible for changing “Professor” Brown to “Doc” Brown and vetoing Brown having a chimpanzee as a pet in favor of a dog. He claimed, “You have to get rid of that chimp because no one’s going to see a film with a chimp in it.”
7. There is a sticker on Doc Brown’s truck that says, “One nuclear bomb can ruin your whole day. “

8. Ralph Macchio turned down the role of Marty McFly.
9. Biff’s catchphrases “make like a tree and get out of here” and “butthead” were improvised.

11. In the opening title sequence there is a picture of Doc Brown hanging from the clock tower.
View media item 1070762
12. Claudia Wells, who played Jennifer Parker in the first film, gave up her role when her mother was diagnosed with cancer. Elisabeth Shue replaced her for the last two films.
13. Crispin Glover lost his voice due to nervousness while filming. Some of his lines needed to be dubbed over after shooting.
14. Glover said he got into a feud with the studio about his salary for Back To The Future II, because the studio was going to pay him a salary less than half that of Lea Thompson (Lorianne) and Tom Wilson (Biff). When he refused to accept the salary, the studio proceeded without him, casting a new actor and using archived footage from the first film as well as prosthetics to duplicate his likeness. Glover sued the studio and it was settled out of court.

15. According to Zemeckis and Hale, the script was rejected over 40 times by every major studio. Studios told them that time travel movies didn’t make any money and that the movie was too sweet.
16. Disney rejected the movie because the oedipal plot line of Lorianne falling in love with Marty was too incestual for the Mickey Mouse studio.
17. Promotional sunglasses for Back to the Future II were sold at Pizza Hut.
18. In the second draft of the script for Back to the Future the time machine is a “time chamber” that looks like a refrigerator.
19. When Marty looks into the window of the antiques shop in 2015, you can see a stuffed animal of Roger Rabbit, which was also directed by Robert Zemeckis.
20. Also, the movie theater in 2015 is screening Jaws 19 by Max Spielberg — Steven’s son.

22. Johnny Depp read for Marty McFly, but the producer Bob Gale dosen’t even remember him reading for the part.
23. There is a homage to Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove at the beginning of the film when Marty hooks up his guitar to Doc’s CRM-114 speaker system — something frequently referenced in Kubrick films.
24. The Back To The Future trilogy included the screen debuts of Elijah Wood and Bill “cool dude” Zane.
25. In the French version of the film, Marty McFly is called Pierre Cardin in 1955.
26. In the Spanish version of the film, Marty is called Levi Strauss.
27. Flea, the bassist from Read Hot Chili Peppers, makes an appearance as Needles, Marty’s boss in 2015.
28. When Marty departs 1985, he leaves the Twin Pines Mall, and then knocks over a pine tree when he arrives in 1955, at the Twin Pines Ranch. When he returns to 1985, the shopping center is called Lone Pine Mall.
29. The band in Back to the Future III is ZZ Top.

35. Michael J. Fox plays every character in the scene when Marty travels to the future and see’s his future family — including Marlene.
36. Nike plans to release Nike MAG sneakers with auto-lacing ability in 2015.......eh
37. Doc Brown’s “futuristic” shirt in Back to the Future II, which features a man on a horse chasing a train, coyly hints at the climax of Back to the Future III.
38. The trailer for Back to the Future III was at the end of Back to the Future II. Both movies were filmed in a 11-month span with only a three-week break in between films.
39. Doc Brown’s kiss with Clara Clayton in Back to the Future III was the first on-screen kiss in Christopher Lloyd’s acting career at which point he had 46 acting credits spanning over 15 years — he was 48-years-old.

Cool list, but I'm pretty sure this one is a reference to Harold Lloyd and Safety Last, as is Doc Brown hanging off the clock later in the film itself:
