Brilliant Moves of Highly Variable Effectiveness

Intelligence is a variable thing. A lot of people are smart in some ways, but absolute garbo at other crap. There are brain surgeons out there with the emotional awareness of a cucumber. There are rocket scientists who brush their teeth in the morning and forget to turn off the faucet before leaving for work. If a brain surgeon and a rocket scientist had two kids, one would be a master of brain rockets and the other one would be sitting in a garbage can wondering why their chair has stinky water at the bottom.

It doesn't feel very good to be outsmarted. But at at the same time, it's worth having a chance to be the one doing the outsmarting. All we can really do is hedge our bets and try to be the outsmarter more often than the outsmarted. Of course it's often impossible to tell when you've been outsmarted, so maybe we're all just a bunch of fumbling rubes. For some brilliance in the form of bold shenanigans, here are some mad lads who made the world their big briny oyster.
