Love Like a Genius Worksheet.

By Alex in Everything Else on Feb 13, 2007 at 2:57 pm

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, here’s a printable worksheet from mentalfloss on the romantic strategies of geniuses like Einstein, Dorothy Parker, Isaac Newton and more. For example:

Einstein’s Strategy: Marry Your Cousin!

Also worked for: Charles Darwin, Edgar Allan Poe and Lewis Carroll.
Why to avoid it: It can increase the risk of recessive genetic diseases, it might be against the law in your state. Oh, and it’s gross.
Why you might try it: Look at the list of geniuses above.
Then again: You’ll note that while a lot of geniuses engaged in cousin love, we don’t have a long list of geniuses who were the offspring of cousin love.

LinkThanks Will!

    I got all the answers right… I didnt even know it was a game and while I was reading Freud I noticed that the story didnt matched the faces for everyone.

    I feel sad now.

    =(

    You could add Scott Adams and how to marry an handicap.

    He’s from Mensa society and got married after he got his diseace.

    That didn’t help.

    =(

    Not sure why Lewis Carroll is listed under “Marry Your Cousin”. Carroll (or Rev. Dodgson, as he was actually called) never married.

    Someone misread a Wikipedia article. Lewis Carroll’s father married his first cousin, which makes Carroll both a genius and the offspring of cousin love.
