  • chummel, on 12/03/2007, -0/+98any cute ladies wanna get smarter together?
  • DesertDude, on 12/03/2007, -4/+82Don't be sad Digg members; one out of two ain't so bad.
  • BlackStrain, on 12/03/2007, -3/+78Cannabis doesn't make you smarter? There goes all my years of train... wait, what was I talking about? Mmmm... Chocolate...
  • pagancollective, on 12/03/2007, -5/+78"avoid using cannabis"

    ...*****.
  • saintjason, on 12/03/2007, -0/+48"Avoid caffeine, alcohol and red meat." That's what I had for breakfast.
  • DesertSquirrel, on 12/03/2007, -3/+38Eat dark chocolate: Sure, I can get behind that
    Have lots of sex: no problem
    Cold meat for breakfast: um okay, I guess
    Stop smoking canabis: ........strong minds are overrated.
  • starkes, on 12/03/2007, -0/+26cannabis leads to chocolate so you're going to cancel out here, its alright.
    problem is, cannabis makes any chocolate the right chocolate - dark or not.
  • _skin_, on 12/03/2007, -2/+25I will take the fatties that are left over. Bring the chocolate ladies!
  • tyywebb, on 12/03/2007, -0/+20You haven't been married long enough.
  • inactive, on 12/03/2007, -0/+20Bleh, more "make yourself smarter through handy, bite-sized popular pseudo-science and misrepresentation of statistical data" stories. It of course does follow that smart people eat chocolate and have a lot of sex---but it does not necessarily follow that either of those two things are the cause of smartness in those who manage to get them.
    Furthermore, it does not necessarily follow that smoking tons of cannabis makes you dumber---though there's certainly a mountain of anecdotal evidence to support this conjecture, further anecdotal evidence both supports and weakens the argument that not all cannabis is created equally, and that some strains will make you dumber than others.
    In short, bravo for an excellent digg story that's sure to make lazy people all over eat even more chocolate and be even more depressed that they never get any nookie.
  • MadSquirrel, on 12/03/2007, -3/+21Scandinavian’s are some of the most depressed people on the planet. I’ll stick with the Dark Chocolate and the Sex.
  • banmaster, on 12/03/2007, -2/+20Every 3 days?? You're kidding right. Guys want it every 3 hours!!! And think about it every 3 seconds!
  • ucg1, on 12/03/2007, -2/+19You're a virgin, huh?
  • Tippis, on 12/03/2007, -0/+14Of course they are – being that smart, and seeing the stupidity that surrounds them, is enough to make anyone depressed ;)
  • AttilaD, on 12/03/2007, -0/+14Sorry, try that as "men want it three times a day" and "women want a restraining order".
  • Shawn4168, on 12/03/2007, -2/+16Really? Seems like I want it every day and the wife wants it every 3 days.
  • Emachine, on 12/03/2007, -0/+12Does "lots of chocolate and dark sex" work as well?
  • swordedge, on 12/03/2007, -0/+11now that sounds like a plan.
  • inactive, on 12/03/2007, -2/+13No Pot? How is this getting any Diggs?
  • inactive, on 12/03/2007, -0/+11Thus the support for the argument that you have to be smart in the first place in order to figure out how to have lots and lots of sex. The reverse does not follow.
  • Sornos, on 12/03/2007, -0/+10But they need to pay.
  • Fullvinyl, on 12/03/2007, -0/+10One could slip a Special Dark bar in the right place and kill two birds with one stone.
  • KingGorilla, on 12/03/2007, -2/+12bad execution
  • CCB0x45, on 12/03/2007, -0/+9What if you supplement the damage done by the cannabis by eating more chocolate and having more sex?

  • AttilaD, on 12/03/2007, -0/+9obviously they're depressed; they don't even have the will to warm up their breakfast sausages.
  • donnikhan, on 12/03/2007, -0/+8Sounds like your REALdoll is on the fritz!
  • capiCrimm, on 12/03/2007, -0/+8"Most people use only three to four per cent of their total supply of brain cells"

    If their going to think of ***** at least they could make up some new stuff. http://www.snopes.com/science/stats/10percent.asp
  • evi1, on 12/03/2007, -3/+11I must have gotten lucky then because my girlfriend wants it everyday.
  • woohhaa, on 12/03/2007, -0/+8I want it every day, I get it when she wants it. Life is so unfair.
  • inactive, on 12/03/2007, -0/+8If you could remember your scores.
  • inactive, on 12/03/2007, -9/+16Changing your diet does work. I'll believe the dark chocolate. The sex advice is wholly impractical. Even if you're lucky enough to be married, women only want it about once a month and guys want it about every three days.
  • inactive, on 12/03/2007, -3/+10wow i always thought like reading and doing math problems developed your mind. I guess its actually all about fellatio with chocolate syrup. so THAT'S why me and my girlfriend did so well in 10th gr... wait, never mind.
  • Dubbsacc, on 12/03/2007, -2/+9Fatties need love too...
  • notque, on 12/03/2007, -1/+8Done and Done! Hopefully my wife reads this, ;)
  • gormenghast, on 12/03/2007, -0/+7I've never been more excited about my sexual attraction to dark chocolate.
  • katulatakulu, on 12/03/2007, -0/+7I was looking for "avoid using cannabis" but lost concentration before I got to it.
  • mcgarry83, on 12/03/2007, -0/+7Make sure you mention the chocolate first, that way you have their FULL attention.
  • JLecker, on 12/03/2007, -1/+7Guess I'm out of luck.
  • Sohj, on 12/03/2007, -0/+6I think he means milk chocolate, as in chocolate made with milk. While I think most chocolates have milk, milk chocolate refers to the typical chocolate found in standard Hershey's bars, etc. It's right on the packaging.
  • KingGorilla, on 12/03/2007, -2/+8and chocolate
  • woohhaa, on 12/03/2007, -1/+7When I was 21 mine did to. Then you get older...
  • Aviatrixt, on 12/03/2007, -0/+6Confirmed: I am the world's smartest woman : )
  • inactive, on 12/03/2007, -0/+6"and avoid people who whinge, whine and complain, as people who are negative will make you depressed, which means you won't achieve things,' said Horne."

    ie. DIGG makes you DUMB
  • wayne247, on 12/03/2007, -0/+5DONE!

    I mean seriously, that's a study I can simply not ignore.
  • mllawso, on 12/03/2007, -0/+5... Then why do they always score the highest on the human development index?

  • Shawn4168, on 12/03/2007, -0/+5You do have a point...I am a newlywed.
  • mlvassallo, on 12/03/2007, -0/+5Dark Chocolate isn't that bad for you...
  • Rhino2, on 12/04/2007, -0/+5Your boyfriend is a 'she'? I don't understand.
