What's the Difference Between a Goldwing and a Road Train? Oh, about 40 lbs. and a stuffed animal. Road trains don't throw sparks going around corners. Road trains "need" all their lights. You can't get a 400 lb. woman in a road train. Road trains will usually pull over to let you by. Road trains don't all look alike. Road trains have to stop at weigh stations. Nobody builds a 3 wheeled road train. Road trains aren't as wide.

In the Computer Science Dept. at the University of Sydney they built this super computer with artificial intelligence that could carry on a conversation with anyone at their relative intelligence level.

All one had to do was type in their IQ and the computer, through its' voice activated-sound generating processor, would begin the conversation.

So they thought they would test it out on several of the PhD faculty.

The first faculty member typed in his IQ at 187 and a bunch of lights on the computer began flashing, then it began a conversation with the scientist on the origins of the universe, mathematical proof of the existence of black holes, and existential philosophy.

The second faculty member then typed in an IQ of 179 and again lights lit up on the computer (not quite as many as the first faculty member, but...) and it began a conversation with the scientist about molecular biology, brain surgery and international monetary policy.

When they tested it on the third faculty member, his finger slipped at the keyboard and typed in 63 instead of 163. Not much happened -- just one little light, it the upper right hand of the computer display, slowly dimmed then grew stronger, then dimmed... Finally the computer said....

"So, how's the Harley running'?"
