That was great. The bit about ever-flowing oceans of drool reminds me of a non-fiction article called "Superintelligence!" that was printed in Asimov's many years ago. The writer was a neurobiologist named Tom Rainbow:
"You know, there are some people that, even though you'd go through all the trouble to interface them with a DNA-based supercomputer and make them smarter than any sentient being in the known universe, they'd still be dumb. Take a colleague of mine, a respected, well-known scientist, who tends to drool. Increase his IQ by 10^26 fold, and the entire East Coast will be inundated in saliva."
