Well my CISSP, got me a date with angelina jolie...

So there!

On a more serious note, as previous posters have mentioned, it does
have its place. The CISSP in particular SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A
MEASURE OF TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE, SKILL, OR UB3R L33TN3SS!!!

Did i learn from studying for it? Yupo, all about FM200, nozzle
placement, and bidness nonsense (who needs bidness when you can
h4x0rz?).  Anyways certifications have their place in this world, it
is just up to everyone to see them for what they are.  A SHEET OF
PAPER
