   Whatever.  The idiot spreads enough stupidity for a dozen newsgroups,
so there is no need to add to it.  There is a wide gap between funny,
and ignorance.  Laugh yourself sick, if you can't see the difference.

Quite sad. But that's no surprise for Terrell.

Personally my question is what is the smallest physically-possible
intelligence that still allows a human to be alive?

Call me GreenXerox...

There are two "smallest physically-possible" organs showing up prominently 
in this thread.

Quite sad. But that's no surprise for Terrell.

Personally my question is what is the smallest physically-possible
intelligence that still allows a human to be alive?

Call me GreenXerox...

And to think you have a signature that reads:
"You can't have a sense of humor, if you have no sense!"
It was an excellent reply to one of GreenXenon's idiotic trolling threads. 
It's quite sad if you didn't find that funny.

   Whoosh! all you want, but some of us have worked in Metrology labs,
and other very critical applications where a comment like his isn't a
joke, rather its grounds for dismissal.

YOU BE MORON.

My Fluke handheld DVM resolves 100 uV. My Fluke benchtop does 100 nV.
You can buy meters that resolve 200 pV.
