Today I was watching a program called Tomorrow Today (Briz 31 community TV). The program is made in Germany. One story was a professor of psychology examining the decision making process in humans. He stated that following Sept 11 attack, the number of Americans driving instead of flying increased by 5% and the subsequent road deaths increased by 1500. He didn't say over what period. The point he was making that we sometimes make flawed decisions. Fascinating.

Grey hair is hereditary, you get it from children. Baldness is caused by watching the Wallabies.
