A large research study in Britain empirically proved that people who spend a lot of time with e-mail/IM etc. dropped ten (10) points on their IQ scores (pre vs. post).

As a point of comparison, a similar group only dropped four (4) points on their IQ after smoking weed.

E-Mail Causes IQ to Drop

Hmmm, let me see. This may be the first time I've read anything that said
can make you smarter. I'm going to have to look into this further.

Given some of us may be riding the razor's edge on the old IQ continum (like me), maybe we should ban the whoring threads for our own protection and for the sake of our loved ones.

 

What about people who spend a lot of time posting on message forums? How many IQ points do they drop?

 

More than I can count.

Especially the ones that post after 3:00am They dropped an avg. of 50 pts.

 

I guess I'd better stop posting!

 

Actually Aaron (Nimbus) is in Cali , so it was only 12:48am . No points lost ,your safe Aaron.


So how is Cali treating ya ? You have to come and visit during auto-x season . I am sure we can set you up with a ride for the day.
