rooster59 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Why an Irishman with a huge IQ chose Thailand! Image: Thairath Irish celebrity brainbox Walter O'Brien chose Thailand for his holiday because of the great food, wonderful things to see and opportunities to relax in great hotels. The media personality founder of Scorpion Computer Services in Los Angeles was feted by the Tourism and Sports Ministry and given some special tours of Bangkok and Phuket on a flying visit this week. Thai Rath said O'Brien was named as the fifth smartest man in the world on a Time Magazine list. They said he has an IQ of 197. Thai tourism officials hope that he will return to make some films in the kingdom in the future and Pongpanu Sewatrun was very upbeat about his visit: "He was most impressed with Thailand's tourism facilities," he said. "He said Thais are very kind and next time he wanted to go to new places and do filming". O'Brien said that he loves the food and great hotels and the tourist attractions compare very favorably with what is on offer in Europe. "When I am in LA the only Asian food I eat is Thai," said the very clever Irishman. "I can't wait to come back and explore some more". Wikipedia says that some people dispute his claims of a high IQ saying they are possibly self-assessed. But O'Brien is reputed to have hacked into NASA systems when he was just 13. He is now 41.

mogoso Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 There is a section of Hollywood Blvd called Thaitown. I believe it's in between 5400 -5800 blocks. Several Thai restaurants with good food. There has to be other good Thai restaurants in LA though I never encountered them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First off, there are significant questions about IQ as a particularly useful measurement of anything. Furthermore, the idea that there's some definitive list of those with the highest IQs seems equally questionable. A quick Google search will show you a whole bunch of "top 10 lists" of IQs -- all of them different, and none of them including anyone named Walter O'Brien. BTW, my IQ was measured when I was 7 and 220 isn't that bad, or? Edited December 31, 2016 by lostinisaan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what they all say when asked.. No mention of nightlife and sexy women (in some people's eyes, anyway). I always wondered what a leprechaun looked like, now I know.
