Once upon a time Mr. Alan Turing came out with a test which was to determine machine's abilities to use natural language, and indirectly - its intelligence as well. The ability to make our interlocutor believe in our 'manhood' is to distinguish and intelligent being? The real challenge is in capacity to face with absurds we come across in our daily life.

Should such one obtain a cash loan from a bank, this I call an achievement!

It reminds me of tests carried out on penguins in one of Monty Python's sketches; in these tests, penguins achieved almost the same results as foreigners - they did not understand a damn thing. The conclusion comes to mind right away. Foreigners are downright stupid.
