The act of texting automatically removes 10 I.Q. points. [quote]"The truth of the matter is there are hobbies that are incompatible. You don't want to do mushroom-hunting and bird-watching at the same time, and it is the same with texting and other activities. We have all seen people walk into parking meters or walk into traffic and seem startled by oncoming cars."[/quote] [img]http://i35.tinypic.com/23tqdzp.jpg[/img] Thinking makes you fat. [quote]It turns out that performing mental tasks, like trying to solve problems while working at a computer, stimulates the appetite so much that people tend to eat significantly more calories than they burned while performing the "knowledge-based" tasks.[/quote]
