The idea that really clever intellectual people have no social life and don't know how to party

It's a rumour made up initially by a few people who weren't very clever, trying to fool themselves into feeling less inadequate. If you want to see if clever people know how to party, take a look at some of the rave-ups in Universities! And, in high IQ societies such as MENSA, parties can be sparked into very interesting action!

Of course it works the other way too. If you're the life and soul of the party, chances are you're probably very clever. (Worth doing an IQ test, don't you think?)
