...that with a high IQ you will live longer, not get fat, or divorced. What is high? 148 or higher.
 
Today we "commemorate" the first bombing of Darwin by the Japanese in 1942, when 243 people were killed, most of them on the eight ships that were sunk in the harbour.

Most of the civilians fled the town, never to return. They were joined by 278 RAAF ground staff deserters, some of whom never stopped running until they reached Melbourne, where they could go no further. This mass flight was later blamed on faulty communication. There was never any danger of invasion.

The Army had difficulty stopping their soldiers looting the abandoned private houses in the ensuing chaos and breakdown in law and order.

These things of course are never mentioned in annual commemorations. It doesn't fit our image. This year, apparently, the commemorators were upset that a Japanese ship happened to be in the harbour.
 
...that the following parts of the Bible, New Testament were added at a later*** date and a large part was removed: ***Hebrews, James, 1Peter, 2John, Jude and Revelations.

The Roman Catholic Church was in fact formed in AD170, The Muratorian Canon, by the Greek Philosoper Irenaeus, later St Irenaeus. The RC religion was formed in Lyons, France at that time Gaul, part of the Roman Empire. Some consider he only founded the New Testament.

148+ = high? More like genius! Only 0.3% of the population have a 148+ IQ! Ie 3 in every 1000 people. So looks like most of us are destined to be fat, live short lives, and have several marriages!

Cheers,

Hi Beej, I stand corrected, as looking back it only said high and it was my idea to add 148.
They do say that going on a course to remember playing cards in a pack can improve an IQ score.

...that if you make a find of ancient coins or artifacts, that if there are 7 or more it becomes a hoard.
 
...a child under seven who learns a multiple number of languages will never mix one with another, or with the wrong accent.

Ah yes, but, that wobbly old windows magnifier doesn't work that well, and OneLoup 1.06 comes with additional colour options etc.,
 
The number 1728 is a Cardinal template called "great gross", and is important in the duodecimal number system.
It famously occurs in the algebraic number system, in the formula for the j-invariant of an elliptical curve. Often called a zagier as a pun on the Gross-Zagier theorem.
 
A second wave of collapses in the UK smaller Building Society sector as concerns over property business loans start to hit.
Rumours surround the West Bromwich Building Society about rumours that the FSA had been reported to be seeking a rescue takeover.
Concerns in America are over the alt-a mortgage loans that will hit the sector in America later in 2009.
 
Some flower petals have 'velcro' surfaces and that helps bees to cling to them.
 

1728 = 12(cubed), and also 1729 -1, 1729 another favourite number for math quiz freaks, being the answer to the question: "What is the lowest number that is for 2 distinct sums, the sum of 2 cubes?", ie:
n such that n = a(cubed) + b(cubed), and also n = c(cubed) + d(cubed), where a,b,c,d are all different natural numbers ('natural' being positive, whole numbers).

Now all I need to do is wrap that useless information into some weird chart theory, write a book about it and flog it in some silly stock forum. (anybody care to recommend a silly stock forum?
