Are you stoned, or reading too much e-mail?
http://www.infoconomy.com/pages/news-and-gossip/group106006.adp

Excerpt:

Modern communication can have a massively adverse impact on users according to a study by King's College, London University, to the extent that it can actually lower IQ.

The study, commissioned by IT powerhouse Hewlett-Packard found that extensive use of email and text messaging could cause IQ to drop by as much as 10%. To put that in context, regular cannabis use has been found to lower IQ on average by 4%.

5. and I wonder where the "repo man" theory of "the more you drive,
the stupider you get" would factor into this study...

6. Neither, I'm drunk
I had a miserable day at work and came home and had a coffee with a double shot of Bailey's and a shot of Canadian whiskey in it.

I feel a little better.... :silly:
