Good Things Come in Big Packages

Get your mind out of the gutter, folks. We're talking about brains.

People with bigger brains are smarter than their smaller-brained counterparts, according to a study conducted by a Virginia Commonwealth University researcher published in the journal “Intelligence.”

The study, published on line June 16, could settle a long-standing scientific debate about the relationship between brain size and intelligence.

Yes, some days I'm glad to have inherited what we call the "Hoff head." The wee Fiona has it too, evidenced by her being in the 15th-20th percentile for height and weight, but the 70th percentile for head circumference. No, no, it's not freakish (you've seen the photos) - it's better.

I expect to be receiving "Enlarge your brain NOW!!" spam by the morning.
