Forget the "blonde" jokes–it turns out that big-breasted women have higher I.Q.s. Yes, a recent study of over a thousand women revealed that those with larger breasts score about 10 points higher on an I.Q. test than their flatter-chested sisters. In Helium.com, Terrence Aym writes that "Society has also depicted women such as glamour queens and sex-goddesses Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield and Jane Russell as sexy, but dumb.

Now here comes a spectacle of lameness from the Discovery people. The gent penning the article linked below actually invokes a MUFON representative as some sort of legitimate authority! Nowhere does he explain how it would be that 3 videos taken from different locations by different people would happen to show perfectly rendered versions of the same incident, correct in every angular detail. It is also more than a little frightening that the hoaxed "American" video was posted even before most of the likely legitimate ones. Somebody very powerful REALLY doesn’t want people to believe that a UFO would single out the Dome of the Rock. Could there be a message here that the powers that be do not like, namely that the three great religions that venerate that spot can live in harmony.read more

On March 24, something unusual happened to Whitley Strieber. As was the case in December of 2007 when his last seemingly physical encounter with the unknown took place, what happened was related to a work of fiction he’s writing. The book, which will be published in mid-2012, involves a kind of mind-sharing that Whitley experienced with his visitors, and which became, over time, an intimate and powerful form of communication. On the 24th, somebody communicated with him in this way, but there may have been more. The person may have been physically present as well. Listen to his eloquent description of what happened, and his insightful interpretation of it.
