To quote this article which talks about 25 Scientifically Proven Ways to Make Yourself Smarter,



"Ride a motorcycle. The developer of Nintendo’s Brain Training software, Ryuta Kawashima, conducted an experiment on Japanese men in their 40s and 50s who had motorcycle licenses but hadn’t ridden in years. The men were split into two groups–one riding a motorcycle to work every day and one not. The motorcycle riders showed improved cognitive functioning and they also indicated that they made fewer mistakes at work and felt happier."

Something wrong with that list, They don't mention the evil green or pornography . Surely they would be in the top 25.

That kind of makes sense.

You can't get away with many mistakes on a motorbike, so you are used to thinking ahead and avoiding errors.

Plus, it is unusual not to have a smile on your face after completing a journey; like riding to work :)

No. They put out until you agree to marry them.

You don't want them to change, but they do.

They want you to change, but you don't want to.
