Default How to become smarter - 03-14-2006, 02:47 PM
This was in the globe and mail today and found it interesting.

It is based off some BBC show that insists if you follow some of these things you can become smarter in 7 days.

-Take a shower with your eyes closed and brush your teeth with your "wrong" hand
-Take a different route to work.
-Do puzzles or Sudoku, then take a walk
-Pick words out of the dictionary and use them on a daily basis (obvious)
-Don't consume caffeine or alcohol.
-Have oily fish for dinner and either cycle, walk or take the bus into work (the next day)
-Go to yoga, Pilates or some meditation class and talk to someone you don't know.
-Memorize your grocery list.

yeah, and then you slip on a bar of soap and hit your head on the side of the tub/toilet and get the idea for the flux capacitor, that must be how it makes you smarter.
