Sex makes you clever

Sex stimulates the brain and makes people more intelligent, according to a top German researcher.

Werner Habermehl, from the Hamburg Medical Research Institute, says that regular sexual intercourse promotes intelligence.

He said that love making not only excited the body but also the brain and the increased amount of adrenaline and cortisol hormones that are produced stimulates the grey matter, reported magazine Unicum Campus.

“Sex makes you more intelligent in that experiences are collected that can be used later on in areas of life not linked to sex,” said Habermehl.

He added that the added injection of endorphins and serotonin that resulted from an orgasm strengthened self-confidence – giving the body a mental as well as physical work out.

The Whole of Greece in One Smile

The Whole of Greece in One Smile

A photomontage by Kodak titled “The Whole of Greece in One Smile”, celebrating the citizens of Greece and the return of the Olympic Games to Athens, sets new Guinness World Record and wins the Gold Award in its category at the 3rd annual Effie Hellas 2004 Awards Ceremony.

The photomontage comprises 16,609 photos of the Greek community that cover a surface area of over 5,000 square feet. The montage, situated in the Athens Syntagma Square opposite the Parliament of Greece, was recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest photomontage ever created, breaking the previous record – also held by Kodak – of 12,012 photos displayed at an exhibition in St. Petersburg, Russia in May 2003.

Pillow Heat-sink

The Chillow is a non-electric heat-sink you put under your pillow to keep it cool at night.

The Chillow was designed to match your body’s cooling needs. At night after an active day, when your metabolism is high and you’re hot, the Chillow is cool and refreshing.

But in the the early a.m. hours, when your metabolism is low due to inactivity, and air temperature is at it’s coolest, the Chillow is lightly cool to lightly tepid, which is exactly the temperature you will enjoy.

After you get out of bed, the Chillow loses any accumulated heat and recharges so it’s ready to go again at naptime, or at bedtime. There is no maintenance required, save sweeping the air out once per month, which takes approx. 20 seconds.

Now, being someone who actually keeps flipping his pillow around looking for a cool place to put his head, this would come in really handy for me.
Aah, what a delight it would be…
