Steve Carell's Genius Tips
If you're like me, you're stupid. But thanks to Steve Carell, we don't have to stay that way, dumdum. In the latest issue of Wired, the Office star and former Daily Show correspondent presents ten bits of advice that will help make even the knuckle-draggingest mouth-breather look like a total smarty-pants. Here's a little:
Appear to Listen
I've learned to appear scintillatingly intellectual by asking people
questions ("Do you like pizza?"). Then I just look at them, nodding and
saying "Hmmm" and "Um hmmm" every few seconds. Try and keep one or two
things in your head to regurgitate later. After all, what is knowledge,
really, but high-resolution regurgitation?Just Say Yes
I've been injecting human growth hormone into my brain for several
years now, with no ill effects. I feel smarter, and I often feel
compelled to show people — really show them — just how smart I am. HGH has also colored the way I perceive the world, which is now a sort of bloodred.Get the Abs of Einstein
A healthy body means a healthy mind. You get your heart rate up, and
you get the blood flowing through your body to your brain. Look at
Albert Einstein. He rode a bicycle. He was also an early student of
Jazzercise. You never saw Einstein lift his shirt, but he had a
six-pack under there.
