There was just a report on TV that chewing gum can make you smarter. Two studies have found that chewing gum made the difference between a C+ and a B. Not bad. If you are one of those who doesn't like the look of people chewing gum, I guess you can now wonder if they are just stupid people who are trying to get up to speed.
Gum companies are marketing 86 new flavors this year. Wrigley's even has a patent on Viagra gum.
There was no discussion of why gum chewing boosts intellectual ability, but then you can't have everything.
I wonder if this means that cows are a whole lot smarter than they've been given credit for. |

So that's why I'm stupid!!!!! I don't chew gum!!!
And that must then explain why all those gum-popping ajumma's are such brainiacs. |

I'm hoping that wasn't a Korean program.
We could see a skyrocketing of gum chewing in Korea. Parents will be sending kids to hogwans with specific instructions to not stop chewing gum. If the big bad ft tells you to throw it out. Ignore him. My son/daughter's future is more important. We'll buy only the best gum money can buy. We'll bribe anyone who tries to stand in our way. SKY here we come! |

Koreans smoke more than Americans. Koreans have higher IQs than Americans. Therefore, smoking leads to higher IQs.  |

Its true, and I've always known that. which is why I smoke 20 a day and chew constantly, like a cow.
Why is it that everything science throws out just confirms what I said ages ago?
i remember when the U.S invaded iraq, i posted a thread saying "Iraq; another vietnam". I was lambasted off the board from here to Timbuktu. And then just last week the news says "Americans want to pull out of Iraq, its like another Vietnam'.
LISTEN TO RAPIER, PEOPLE. |

And if you don't listen to Rapier, listen to the wise words of the Hwajangsil Ajumma. |

That reminds me of lunch at the school canteen the other day. The dessert of the day was the "oh yeah" bar. I was rather amused by the label "well being". I started laughing and asked why it was good for you. A teacher replied that there was calcium in the chocolate. Oh yeah!! |

From which we might conclude that only stupid people chew gum: they couldn't find any "A" students to test.  |

Why waste time with multiple efforts?
Chew nicotine gum all day long.
Bingo! õ�� �Դϴ�! |

Absolutely, that's one way. Plus we can't overlook that study where people who chawed t'bacca every day tested in the stratosphere for IQ. Seems the spitting boosted them even more over straight chawing. Sure works for me... (Got me thrown outta the Woodstock one time for making a mess but dammit, people, genius ain't supposed to be tidy.) |
