Today's horoscope says:

Your finances are getting to be a bigger issue in your life right now ... and preservation of your bank account should be a high priority starting today.
There's no need to drastically change your lifestyle, but a few nips and tucks here and there might be a good idea.
Brown bag it for lunch for one week ... try taking public transportation or carpooling ... go for drip coffee instead of a cappuccino.
Tiny, painless changes will help your wallet get bigger and healthier.

Tuneful Tuesday

Have You Ever Seen The Rain? by Creedence Clearwater Revival

Today's Physics Lesson

The following theorem can now be supported using some basic physics and two well known propositions, namely :

Knowledge is Power.
Time is Money.

As every physicist knows, Power = Work/Time.
Therefore, Knowledge = Power = Work / Time = Work / Money, or
Money = Work / Knowledge

Thus for any given amount of work, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money goes to infinity (the executives). And conversely, as Knowledge gets larger, Money gets smaller (scientists and academics). QED

Night Owl or Morning People?

Who's Smarter

Early birds may catch the worm, but night owls have higher IQs. Hey, don't take my word for it - it's been proven, you know, by science:

Research examining various psychological correlates of circadian type (also known as diurnal preference) has been, over the years, quite expansive. A notable omission within this research program would appear a systematic exploration of the relation between intelligence and morningness–eveningness. The present study redressed this imbalance. 420 participants performed two self-report inventories assessing circadian type, as well as measures of intelligence from two psychometric batteries: CAM-IV and the ASVAB. The results indicate that, contrary to conventional folk wisdom, evening-types are more likely to have higher intelligence scores. This result is discussed in relation to current theories concerning the nature of human cognitive abilities.

The 1999 study: Morningness-eveningness and intelligence: early to bed, early to rise will likely make you anything but wise! by Roberts RD and Kyllonen PC, Dept. of Psychology, University of Sydney, Australia
