Re:Shane MacGowan Has Died

Gutted to see Shane gone even though we all knew it was coming. He was the poet laureate of the Irish in Britain and indeed throughout the world, who had incredible humanity and an unflinching eye for the life of the underdog. His heroes were the nameless working class people who made Britain tick as much as his literary heroes like Behan and James Clarence Mangan. Good luck Shane, I hope you don't find heaven too boring!

I agree, I think mental illness afflicts people irrespective of their IQ. Perhaps people who seek out intelligence tests are experiencing delusions of grandeur?
