There are lots of creatures smarter than Kalk. Take, for instance, the spider monkey.
If the spider-monkey reaches into a hold in a rock to pull out some salt, he may get his hand caught. The spider monkey realizes that if he drops the salt, he is able to remove his hand. Now... here is where they differ:
Spider monkey: Knows when to quit...
Kalkrath: Addicted to our salt metaphor(Won't shut his trap)
If the spider monkey tries again and gets caught, he knows his quest is futile and decides to go jerk off and eat some other monkey's crap - this is what spider monkeys do. Here they differ again:
Spider monkey: Realizes defeat and changes his ways...
Kalkrath: Despite deciding to jerk off and eat monkey crap, still must continue attempting to acquire salt (Getting his ass in trouble
It is this evidence which brings me to conclude that the spider-monkey, having an average IQ of about 45, is far more intelligent that our alleged "school genius" Kalkrath.
This also leads to another alarming conclusion; If Kalk's a genius, and monkeys are smarter, the state of America's school systems must be far worse than originally suspected. However, this is a topic for another day.
Good day
