IQ tests were developed to measure ones ability to do specific thought functions. They were used to recruit code breakers in WW1. Unfortunately because the system has the word intelligence in it people came to believe it was more than it is.

IQ is fine for what it's intended for, like hammers are good for driving nails, less sucessful at applying paint.

You'll be playing pool with the little straw that you just drank your bundy and coke out of.

Bundy light, 2.75% alcohol

You'll be playing pool with the little straw that you just drank your bundy and coke out of.

There are pubs in Brisbane where you can only buy a Bundy out of a tap as nips/cans [according to what was said is policy - from the hotel I gather] after a certain hour are banned.


Best method for Bundy - after years of dedicated ongoing research and expense -

Crack a can of Pepsi not Coke

Drink/spill a good mouthful of the contents

Top up with the Square Bear until it runs around and fills the rim

Call out loudly "ooops" and slurp the "overfill"

Exhale a satisfied "Aaah and smile broadly at all around at solving the problem.

When finished that can try another to see whether the problem was a one off or is repeatable - true scientific method.

After a couple of these you have completed your research for the day but like a true dedicated researcher you know that you will need to continue your research tomorrow as the change in temperature, humidity, phase of the moon, wind direction are all variables which can affect the outcome

Don't you just love science

I used to do those science experiments years ago except that it was Bacardi and Coke.

They could just ban the rum instead of the glass and cues. I'm allergic to rum, and don't frequent pubs, but I'm told people get more agro drinking rum.

Perhaps whiskey hits you so fast your not coherant enough for fighting.. ? Dunno.

BTW Coopers Pilsener 62, quite inoffensive. Tried it this weekend. Expensive but quite nice as beers go.
