Humor and Mating

I could probably have told you so, but a recent study suggests that general and verbal intelligence both predict sense of humor, which in turn predicts mating success. It also suggests that males are funnier than females.

Interestingly, the sense of humor was measured by asking the subjects to write captions for cartoons from the New Yorker.

They Finally Got It

I am most pleased to read about the news that Boeing has finally decided to move the flight attendant call buttons on their planes.

For as long as I can remember, the call buttons have been typically next to the buttons to turn on the reading light. Almost on every flight, someone would push it by mistake, causing the flight attendant to scramble to that person's aid, only to find out that it is a false alarm.

Better late than never!

"Riot Kiss" Photo

This photo, which appears to show two people kissing in the midst of the chaos at the Vancouver riot following the Stanley Cup loss, has gone viral on the Internet:

It looks so amazing that many were convinced it was staged or even photoshopped.

Now it appears that it was real. The kissing couple has been identified as Alex Thomas of Vancouver and her boyfriend Scott Jones from Australia. Thomas was knocked down during the riot and Jones wanted to comfort her.

You can see an eyewitness account, a video evidence, and an interview of the couple here.

Travel Sticker Shock

I just made reservations for a family trip later this summer. Both airfares and car rental costs appear to have gone up appreciably compared to recent years. [I have made other business trips recently, but I have not paid close attention to the costs until now because they did not come out of my own pocket.]

With rising fuel costs and reduced competition, I have a feeling the days of relatively cheap travel might be numbered. Compounding the overall rising costs is the increasing difficulty of following the ever-changing prices.
