Most three-year-olds are fascinated by cars and trucks.
But few can read and remember their number plates like William Potter does.
He can also name most towns and cities in the British Isles - and has just become one of the youngest people ever accepted as a member of Mensa.
With an IQ of 140, his intelligence is said to be on a par with that of Bill Clinton and, apparently, Napoleon Bonaparte.

Future meglomaniac and sex addict?
Nah, he'll be short and marry a power-hungry crypto-lesbian with fat ankles.
Interesting how Bonaparte is looked at these days, he was on a par with Hitler in his time, only worse. I do like one of his quotes, which basically goes, When people really screw up it is not malice, mostly they are just stupid.
Let’s hope he thinks with a different part of his anatomy
I didn’t think 140 was all that high, I pegged 135 when I was signing up for college.
Sharon Stone is also a member of Mensa. Anyone heard her talk yet? An overrated club which brags about a sex-starved rapist president as a member.
She probably knows the meaning of “is” which trumps BJ.
Gee, if the kids so smart, why does he need a calculator?
“Gee, if the kids so smart, why does he need a calculator? “
Probably a peer pressure thing!
I didn’t realize Napoleon was a Mensa member. Must be why he got that complex.
So, what is that Genius Zer0’s IQ? H!’s?
Well, I think the 3 year old could have composed a better TITLE for this article than the author did.
Heard that Jayne Mansfield had an IQ of 165.
This is stupid. Many people have an IQ of 140. Most tests that measure IQ put 140 at the first level of genius. Well, welcome a genius to FR because mine is 141 and has been for years(since freshman year of HS). I remember the MSM saying Clinton had a 160 IQ. I guess they decided to down grade it now that Bozo the WH clown is in office.
I’m not sure what the big deal is; the kid’s IQ is like one in three hundred - and it’s (marginally) lower than my own.
“his intelligence is said to be on a par with that of Bill Clinton and, apparently, Napoleon Bonaparte.”
No. He can’t decide whether to mutter “It’s the economy, stupid” or “Logistics, logistics logistics.”
Never join a club that would have you as a member.
(GBS quoted bassackward)
Bonaparte was regarded by many non-Monarchists as an heroic figure. Fidelio and Tosca ilustrate this.
While the IQ means _something_, I’m not exactly sure what, but it does tend to correlate with success in life. On the other hand, there are those with relatively high IQ that are not as successful as most “normals”.. me, for example, to be honest.
