No, and I doubt training every waking hour would make me a world class olympic anything other than a world class physical wreak. No doubt, 'wanting to' will get you part of the way, but talent separates the very best from all us ordinary folks. And 'us ordinary folks' are just about all of us...

You can train someone to be a genius in a year? How much does it cost?

Go take a look at the wikipedia IQ article. It has links to studies showing significant correlations of certain white matter / gray matter brain volume and locations and activity with IQ ... using fMRI, MRI, PET scans. Here's the link .. (ignore the unsourced politically motivated stuff if...

Feel like you need a little humbling? This test is based on flash movies -- so you'll need a browser plug-in to run it - http://hjem.get2net.dk/mick.langhoff/flash/iq3.swf

A large number of tsunami videos at this blog site including general information about tsunamis. This site also has information repecting relief organizations. These people need our support. There is one image at this site which may be the most terrible and saddest image I have ever seen -...

Oh, at the same place I found Glenn Johnson's "Homicidal Interference" Page http://www.marlinpals.com/GlenJohnson/ Donna Higbee’s Human Spontanious Involuntary Invisability http://members.aol.com/Rapunz1/DH_index.html And Alex Chiu’s Eternal Life Ring and Eternal Life Foot Braces...

When I first started cruising this guy's website I thought he was a pretty funny, in an Andy Kaufman way. Then, the more I clicked the links at the top of his page, the more it started to look like he might be serious. Take a look at his site (linked) and let me know what you think. Humorous or...

Thanks Burnsys – that is a website created by two individuals who have collected pretty extensive information which, they propose, indicates BBC bias as it relates to the Middle East and specifically Israel and her enemies. They provide four 'reports' – starting in March 2002 and going forward...

I'm sure most of us remember the BBC biggie from last year, the Hutton Report, http://www.the-hutton-inquiry.org.uk/ and The Case of the Satisfactory Internal Inquiry. That case lead to the "resignations" of two senior BBC executives and BBC reporter, Andrew Gilligan. According to the Hutton...

That doesn't necessarily have to be the case as I see this. It could have been that large numbers of undecideds and independants started calling themselves Republicans. That more people in the "middle" are either moving to the right or just calling themselves Repuublicans --- all while the...

The Republicans are not just the majority party in government; they now hold the edge against Democrats in national party identification. What has caused this shift in political identification – even as the Republicans themselves move even further to the right? Could it be that the Democrats...

Maybe - but the implication I receive is that these 'national IQs' can be compared to each other. A sort of 'cause-effect deal.' Rather, it's more like a 'chicken-egg deal' IMO. Since environment AND genetics probably play a role in IQ test results we run into a major problem when comparing...

Ashcroft replacement -- http://apnews.myway.com/article/20041110/D8694G201.html

Here you go - http://www.thoseshirts.com/images/donkey500.jpg

I was joshing about Ashcroft. The Republicans don't have the numbers to block a Democratic filibuster, and if Ashcroft was nominated we'd see one of those until 2008.
