Get smarter in a week
While at the beach, I’ve been considering ways to better myself, and I came across this recent Guardian story “Simple ways to make yourself far cleverer:”
Saturday
Brush your teeth with your ‘wrong’ hand and take a shower with your eyes closed.
Sunday
Do the crossword or Sudoku puzzle in your Sunday paper and take a brisk walk.
Monday
Have oily fish for dinner, and either cycle, walk or take the bus into work.
Tuesday
Select unfamiliar words from the dictionary and work them into conversations.
Wednesday
Go to yoga, Pilates or a meditation class, and talk to someone you don’t know.
Thursday
Take a different route to work; watch Countdown or Brainteaser.
Friday
Avoid caffeine or alcohol; memorise your shopping list.

You were reading the Guardian? Clever, Scott, clever. Naturally, in Europe, we can’t get such things since internet is slow and newspapers are scarce. That’s how they know so much about the bad, bad, bad Iraq War: through a total lack of information.

Laura, I’m so happy that you’re my friend. Not only are you brilliant, but you’re funny. And that’s the true mark of intelligence.
Isn’t it hilarious how Europeans think so highly of their sophistication, and the “elite” American media sucks up to them until they’re blue in the face? (Haha…blue. What a pun!).
