BOOB email query

We received this genuine email the day fi yin i oor readers:

"I remember yon funny boay thit used ti walk aboot Newtoon thit folk say used ti be an academic. The stoary goes, in tru Bo'ness fashion, thit "He wis that brainy, he went thick".

I'm just about to start University and am worried that I may end up like this, wi ma ballop doon, ma laces oot n being fed roll-ups ful i gravel.

Is this true or not? Can you really be so intelligent that you start to regress mentally?

Worried Intelligentia,
Ridbrae
Bo'ness"

Any thochts oan this yin readers?
