"Chrichton has a ton more science degrees then you. the IQ of your whole family wouldn't equal his" He has a degree in anthropology and an MD. Given that description, he slept during his chemistry classes. IQ is irrelevant if he doesn't have the knowledge. Given that description, he doesn't have the knowledge.

Chrichton has a ton more science degrees then you. the IQ of your whole family wouldn't equal his. Hmmmm..........it sounds to me like he has a BS in Anthropology and an advanced degree in Asshole; as for a science background, I think CJ has him beaten hands down: "Michael Crichton was born in Chicago, Illinois to John Henderson Crichton and Zula Miller Crichton and raised in Roslyn, Long Island, USA. [1] He attended Harvard University, where he graduated summa cum laude in anthropology. He went on to teach anthropology at Cambridge in England, later returning to Massachusetts to gain an M.D. degree from Harvard Medical School. [1][edit: it is disputed as to whether he actually finished medical school] Crichton has admitted to once plagiarizing a work by George Orwell and submitting it as his own. The paper was received by his professor with a mark of "B-". Crichton admitted to plagiarizing when he was on the stand in the course of a lawsuit trying to defend the authenticity of Twister, a movie which one individual claimed was based on their story entitled "Catch the Wind". Crichton has stated that the plagiarism was not intended to defraud the school, but rather as an experiment. Crichton believed that the professor in question had been intentionally giving him abnormally low marks, and so as an experiment Crichton informed another professor of his idea and submitted Orwell's paper as his own. While in medical school, he wrote novels under the pen names John Lange and Jeffrey Hudson (under which pseudonym A Case of Need won the 1969 Edgar Award). He also co-authored Dealing with his younger brother Douglas Crichton under a shared pen name Michael Douglas. The back cover of that book contains a picture of Michael and Douglas at a very young age taken by their mother. His two pen names were both created to reflect his above-average height. According to his own words, he was about 206 cm (6' 9") tall in 1997 [2]. "Lange" means "tall one" in Dutch and Sir Jeffrey Hudson was a famous seventeenth century dwarf in Queen Henrietta Maria's court. Crichton has two sisters, Kimberly and Catherine, and a brother, Douglas. He is married to Sherri Alexander and has a daughter, Taylor, with ex-wife Anne-Marie Martin." en.wikipedia.org Stupid is a stupid does!
