Yep I knew it was humour mate I was returning the favour LOL!!
Well I tend to agree with you that learning does increase intelligence although I still stand by what i said about genetically inherited and evolutionary change.
Now I am not saying for one moment that I am particularly intelligent there are some on this forum who I ma sure think I am a bit of a dim wit but only they have their own reasons for doing so. From experience I did not hit my "straps" until after I was 40 when I picked up a book on algebra and then one by Max Born called "The Restless Universe" which took me into the wonderful world of physics in particular - quantum mechanics. Max Born - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia if you are interested. From there it all seemed like a fast roller coaster ride uphill and I don't feel I have reached the top yet.
My forte up until then had been a fairly good understanding of anatomy and physiology. However I do have a problem understanding some of the niceties of the coding in the software we use for example how some of the BSOD folks find their way around in it.
