Beautiful people don't just get all the breaks, scientists say they're likely smarter than most people, too.

A study in England conducted by researchers at the London School of Economics found that attractive men and women generally have higher IQs.

"Physical attractiveness is significantly positively associated with general intelligence," said LSE lead researcher Satoshi Kanazawa, in the latest issue of the journal, Intelligence.

The study indicated attractive men have IQs that are 13.6 points above the average, while beautiful women are 11.4 points higher than average.

In all seriousness, does the congressional health plan cover plastic surgery?

Congress’s health plan is run by OPM. They say it stands for Office of Personnel Management, not Other People’s Money. Considering they run a Congressional pharmacy built into the Capitol building it would not surprise me if they ran free botox clinics more often than flu shot clinics.

And the next guy might see her as gorgeous. And that's fine with me.

In fact it's better. There's somebody for everybody.
