I just think this is funny. I was typing along in a post and couldn't figure out how to spell "genius". So since google is a fount of all knowledge I typed "genious" into google and did a search. Being google it immediately suggested the correct spelling and all was well. However, my eyes wandered over to the adds and saw this one:

Are you Mensa Material?
Think you're smart enough?

Now knowing the way ads on google work I just had to laugh. That means that whoever put this add together decided to make this add about rating your intelligence show up when someone did a search on the word "genious", a misspelling. Certainly I'm not going to dog anyone for not knowing how to spell (after all, I was looking up the word), but it doesn't seem to me that people misspelling words are going to be your target audience to take a Mensa evaluation.
