Who is the smartest person that you know personally, who lives in California?

That would be myself.
At the risk of sounding arrogant.

My uncle retired to Fresno where his wife is from. He was a chemical engineer for Cooper tires in Toledo Ohio. He came up with some rubber compounds that would run as a tire 120,000–150,000 miles in the early nineties so he claims. He said there is no market for a tire that doesn’t wear out. Much like there is motors that get 100 miles a gallon but they don’t put them in cars. The oil companies buy them out. Anyways this uncle is an eggheaded brainiac to the max and really smart.

Rule me out!!!

I believe it would be… AstroChuck.

Arnold.

Arnold Rimmer doesn’t live in California.

Me, sorry. My powers are no match for you, puny mortal.

My cousin, Eric. A double (or triple?) PhD (I know one of them is physics but I forgot the others), worked with NASA, and currently does some job at an air force base but he isn’t really allowed to tell anyone about it.

Ben. No wait, Andrew.

I’m S.M.R.T.

Ben.

All right boys, there’s only one way to settle this…...

trivial pursuit!

Anyone else?

I really want to meet that individual in person and talk to him/her for a couple of hours.

I will buy you cake or something if you make it happen.

looking for a genius basically.

sorry if this is an odd request/question

My friend Jeff. I don’t know about his IQ but he is really smart and and really good artist.

Niki: I love Trivial Pursuit!

Actually, I take it back. My wife is smarter than me.

The smartest person I know in California is probably my uncle.

What’s the point of this question?

@daloon: I have a few questions I need to ask. I want to hear a genius’s pov/opinion

@windex: and you propose to approach a stranger to ask this question?

@ daloon: Well no, I was hoping someone here would ask that person to see if he/she would agree to meet (dinner on me or something…)

Well, I hope you’re in NorCal. I’m not driving all the way to Southern California just for a lousy dinner.

Dale Primmer, and he lives in Riverside. He is one of the most brilliant humans in that entire state. It’s too bad more people don’t know him, the man is a genius.

@evelyns_pet_zebra- Plus his name rhymes with Arnold Rimmer.
