This article from The Telegraph has proved what was quite clear to everyone:
The fair-haired have long endured accusations that they are less intelligent than brunettes, to the extent that an unexpected show of stupidity is now referred to as a ‘blonde moment.’Of course, the jokes about blondes and their alleged stupidity are more a pastime than a belief, that much was clear to everyone. However, if someone felt that this point needs a scientific investigation, so be it.
But blondes should take heart. Scientists have now discovered that hair colour is determined by a single letter of the genetic code – and it is completely unrelated to any other inherited trait.
Only two remarks about the article itself. First of all, one shouldn't use a picture of an extraterrestrial as proof of anything that is happening on this planet.
And the second item: the lede of the article. Well, there is a bug there:
Since the article is by Sarah Knapton (a smallish picture of her in the article), an inevitable question arises: does Sarah dye her hair?

That article is just aching to be a blog entry at Stubble Jumping Redneck, but I just don't know what to say about it.
The one about porn, I mean.
And, of course, I will give you credit where credit is due.
You are welcome and I am sure ;-)
Anomaly, eh? Ho. ho. As for the porn study, as one super sci in there says, doing anything to excess can be bad for you. Even eating carrots. Unless you're a rabbit. Like an adolescent who won't relinquish the X-Box.
That must be true. I am starting to feel the consequences of all kinds of excesses lately.
