You are an idiot.  Common Lisp is only one of a number of Lisps,
though more popular than most.  Scheme may or may not be a Lisp
(it is a call-by-value impure untyped/unitype functional language
with s-expression syntax, macro systems, a special top-level
environment, and letrec), but it derives directly from Lisp, was
invented in large part by the creator of Common Lisp, and is generally
considered a Lisp.
