Smarter ladies have bad sex



BRAINY babes find it harder to have an orgasm – because they are too busy thinking, a study claims. The German survey found that the more educated a woman was, the less likely it was that she would be satisfied by sex.

In the study 62 per cent of women who had completed their education said they often had problems achieving orgasm. Only 38 per cent of women with a lower educational qualification said they had such problems. The study conducted by a German lifestyle website surveyed over 2,000 women between the ages of 18 and 49.

Alrite, NO Clever Girl for me please...

The way to a man's heart? Through his left ear



If you're thinking of asking your beloved to marry you, make sure that you utter your declaration of love into his or her left ear; it may increase your chances of hearing a heart-lifting “yes”. New research suggests that declarations of love, jokes, or words of anger are best remembered when they are heard through the left ear, while instructions, directions and non-emotional messages have more impact on the right side.

The extraordinary image, a world exclusive, was taken in Borneo on the island of Kaja, where apes are rehabilitated into the wild after being rescued from zoos, private homes or even butchers' shops.

Currently listening to Leona Lewis



Spirit is the debut album by British singer and winner of the third series of The X Factor, Leona Lewis, released by Syco Music in November 2007 in the British Isles and worldwide during early 2008. The release of the album marks Lewis as the first winner of a major television talent show in both the UK and USA to be given a major global launch with a debut album.

Lewis says she named the album Spirit because "it is my heart and soul and the voice within that says everything is possible."

Spirit has so far debuted at number one in seven countries, including Australia, the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand and Germany. On iTunes, the two versions of the album (deluxe and regular) placed at #1 and #2, respectively, on the day of release.
