IQ? Not Really.
I dunno how, but I got ripped off £5 for trying this; yes I see see Chain pissing his pants right now, the irony of this situation is, “It’s an intelligence test.”
The BBC said This:
“A person’s Intelligence Quotient (IQ) is, arguably, one of their most important characteristics. It is believed that you can predict a person’s behavior more accurately from their IQ than from any other single piece of information about them.”
What a load of Bollocks!!!
Check out a few the clever people in history that I have researched…
1. Einstein
It goes without question this guy is a genius, but his personal life was an array of turmoil and dysfunction. He once wrote that the spirit of learning and creative thought were lost in strict rote learning. No Shit!
2.Hitler
Not really a thickie… Although as infamous as you can imagine!
3.Bill Gates
Now this fella has a lot of enemies, quite a few I feel maybe reading this. But you cannot deny this bloke his brilliance.
Here, I’ve taken 3 well known intellectual subjects with abstract ideals. Now read that part from the BBC again!

Do I Look Like Suggs?
Having been to Hospital I was confronted by a Nurse who said, “Do you know who you remind me of?”
Now I’ve had this alot so I decided to do some research.
Hmmm… I’m not so sure.

Some Old Photo’s
I’ve got the scanner out and have decided to get some old photo’s online. This is some of the fun I had when I was in Australia in 2000 at my cousins in Brisbane. I ended up ditching the car in the pond and having to tow it out with a Ute! (4X4)

No Money…
I believe I should be rich! All this dickin’ around not being able to get done the things that would make a difference is a complete waste of energy. If I was lucky enough to win the Lotto Jackpot there are a million things I would take on, people that do win and then say, “This money won’t change my life at all,” and stay at work need to be shot in the head and the money given to someone who will make good use of it. After all if it isn’t going to change anything in their lives, what was the bloody point of buying the ticket in the first place? Muppets!!!

Life – An Optical Illusion
A very interesting theory has been developed by Mark Changizi a cognitive scientist, about how we interpret the world around us and also could explain certain optical illusions that we all perceive. It’s to do with how long it takes us to process the visual information from our eyes into images processed in the brain (approx 0.1S), this may seem relatively insignificant, but if you are going to catch out that Ozzy batsman instead of receiving a mouthful of broken teeth, it becomes all the more important. It has been declared that evolution has programmed us to instinctively warp the images around us to correct distortions created by movement of ourselves around our environment. So if we are walking along a street for example we will be visualising certain areas one tenth of a second before we actually see them (???), so we are kind of looking into the future! Have a look at this:
The converging lines toward a vanishing point (the spokes) are cues that trick our brains into thinking we are moving forward — as we would in the real world, Since we aren’t actually moving and the figure is static, we misperceive the straight lines as curved. If you imagine the perspective of a door frame as you walked through it, you begin to understand how our perception compensates and why these static parallel lines seem to bulge near the center. Have a look at this one:
In this illusion, looming toward the center leads to the brightness expanding outward, while looming away does the opposite, exactly the same rules at work.
This is however only a theory, but a pretty cool one…
