QUOTE Satellite navigation systems can stunt your brain, preventing it from developing, according to scientists. They have discovered that taxi drivers have actually grown more brain cells because of all the knowledge they keep in their heads.

this is true... i remember our 1st band (the best group) had a collective gpa much higher than our school's average.
i think there's some studies somewhere now that say kids who play complicated video games turned out smarter too. |

Wait, let me take that back. at least half of the people fit the mold. The rest are freelance people who enjoy those activities. Then again, I dont know. They have done studies that say it does help with grades and brain development. -------------------- A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?
