Staring at naked women makes you smarter: Study

It’s high time the SUNshine Girl went topless.
I say this not for prurient reasons or to make the circulation manager hysterical or to curry favour with my naturalist friends.
No, this is a public service. A boon to mental health. Yours.
I’m happy to report what I’ve always suspected is true. The SUNshine Girl makes you smarter. It’s now a scientific fact.
And a topless SUNshine Girl would have you knocking on the door of the Mensa Society.
You guffaw? I, too, might have scoffed, before reader Ian of Sparrow Lake alerted me to a story this week in Britain’s biggest newspaper The Sun, which runs topless models on Page 3.
Looking At Page 3 Makes You Brainy, the headline proclaims.
“Scientists (have) discovered that looking at pics of the likes of Lacey, Keeley and Rhian makes the brain react quicker,” the paper says.
This raises several questions. Such as: “Don’t people name their girls Martha, Dinah or Lois anymore?” Sorry, no. Only in the Bible.
And: How can gazing upon underclad women possibly boost your brainpower? Doesn’t that usually make men stupid?
Leave it to the fun-loving Finns to figure it out.
Researchers at the University of Tampere and Aalto University showed volunteer men and women photos of models in varying stages of undress.
Before all you women in sensible shoes cry “sexist pig!”, I hasten to add the models also were male and female.
The volunteers’ electrical brain activity was monitored.
Results appear in the current edition of the science journal PLoS One.
They make me proud to work for this newspaper, to share space with such brain food as the SUNshine Girl.
