Five Weird Signs You’re Smarter Than Average

With all the TV and Internet time we log, it’s amazing we’re not all drooling IDIOTS.  Or maybe we are?  Anyway, here are five weird signs you’re above average intelligence . . .

1.  You’re the oldest child.  A study in 2007 found the oldest child in a family tends to have a slightly higher I.Q. . . . about three points, on average.

2.  You don’t smoke.  A study in 2010 found that smokers between 18 and 21 had an average I.Q. of 94 . . . while the average non-smoker’s I.Q. was 101.  And people who smoked more than a pack a day had an average I.Q. of just 90.

3.  You have a cat.  A study last year found that dog people tend to be more outgoing.  But cat people tend to be smarter.

4.  Your mom breast-fed you.  Two recent studies found that kids who were breast-fed had I.Q.’s that were seven points higher than kids who weren’t.

5.  You’re tall.  This one’s controversial, because obviously there are plenty of short people out there who are smart . . . and plenty of tall morons.  But a 2008 study at Princeton found that taller kids tend to do better on cognitive tests.

Little Caesars Is Introducing Bacon-Wrapped Pizza…. Mmmm Bacon

Just when you think our society has reached peak bacon levels . . . We havn’t!  Someone finds a new way to bacon up our food.

bacon pizzaLittle Caesars just announced their brand new Bacon-Wrapped Pizza.

It’s a deep-dish pizza, and the bacon kind of wraps around the pizza crust along the sides.  It’s thick-cut bacon, and they say it takes three-and-a-half feet of bacon to wrap the entire pizza.

Each pizza is eight slices, and each slice including the bacon is 450 calories.

They’re going to start selling it on Monday, and it’ll be around through late April.  Unless it’s a hit . . . then you might see bacon-wrapped pizza for a long while.  Or at least until it kills us all.

A Guy Plows His Sidewalk . . . with a Motorized Toilet…YES!!!

I love this guy!!!! A Bethesda, Maryland man…who has WAY too much time on his hands built a motorized TOILET for a parade last summer.  It’s basically a toilet on top of a wooden box with wheels on it. And now a video of him using it in front of his hardware store is making the rounds of Facebook . . . because he added a SNOWPLOW.

The 20 Signs Your Relationship Is in the “Comfort Zone”

According to a new study, it takes a year to get into the “comfort zone” in a relationship, where you can be yourself and not just let the other person see the best version of you.  An average of 11 months and 24 days to be exact.

They mean it in a good way . . . like you could let your guard down and go the distance.  It doesn’t mean you’ve given up on things.  Although the top signs you’re there kinda sound that way.  Here are the top 20 . . .
