Mensa is lots of things, including Spanish for stupid woman, but it's not an acronym for anything. I've attended delightful 3-day weekends at resorts with devilishly difficult treasure hunts, thought-provoking discussions, good food, and, plenty of silliness. I've also participated in local political action groups that actually accomplished something. Just nice to be with people whose synapses fire as quickly as mine.
