And how smart do I become if I stare at naked women after having had 8 beers?
Helen Thomas ?!!
I don’t think so...
Duh, never knew I had an ace up my sleeve all these years............
As Hunter Thompson was purported to have said: "Hey, it works for me!".
bflr
You’d have to be an idiot not to know this.
Well,...so much for Holiday Inn Express. Bring me that cold fusion device thingy.
I’ll get it workin’ in a minute.
Manswers also cited a John Hopkins study that concluded a good way to deal with pain is to picture yourself in a threesome with 2 hotties. That’s science.
I'm not denying the correlation with the remnant of prehistoric brain on possible mating (Oohh.. does it mean we believe in evolution now?). I'm just taking issue with the 'makes-your-smarter' headline.
[...]Professor Jari Hietanen reports the less clothes the models wore, the quicker each volunteer’s grey matter kicked into action.
This may have roots in how our cave-man ancestor identified a potential mate. It was easier if they were naked.
Accurate experimental findings, faulty logic, and wrong conclusion (or at least: misleading article).
The electrical activity increased, but not in the higher brain centers (the prefrontal lobes). Cognitive powers were not enhanced. Rather, the activity in the limbic system (reptilian brain) - responsible for instinctive behavior (like evaluating the sexual attractiveness of potential mates - increased.
Looking at images of nude woman would NOT enhance the ability of a normal male subject to solve analytical problems (e.g., mathematical equations or logical deductions). Rather, certain instinctive processes would be triggered, helping him to determine whether the subject at hand was beddable, or worth bedding.

Don't know if that has made me smarter, but it has made life more interesting and enjoyable, for just like the saying that we carnivores say to PETA that if God didn't want us to eat meat, He would not have made it so "tasty;" if God didn't want us to ogle the anatomy of beautiful women "au natural" why did he make the female anatomy so alluring and fascinating?
However, it goes without saying that there are some women (dare I suggest, Liberal females? lol) who should NEVER be seen clothed, never mind undressed, as some of us have weak stomachs.
Of course the previous declaration does not apply for males on the make, in bars, after about 8 to 10 drinks and it's 10 minutes before closing time; then that rule is null and void and they all (even the woof-woofs) look absolutely spectacular and desirable. lol
So brain activity mimicking caveman instincts is now…. smarter?
OK, apparently the study concludes that, because of some measurable increase in the speed of brain activity, people seem smarter than they really are. Reading the article makes one dumber. Posting about it makes one an idiot.
Did I get that right? I’ve lost too many brain cells now to tell.
Lord, I must have the smartest husband in the world. He can hear my shower running from six blocks away!
Would be a much better story if it were backed up with an extensive photo spread.
