A PRANK played on a sleepy
Belgian town involving a medical
emergency, police, a football team
and a woman riding a motor cycle
in her underwear, has notched up
nearly 20 million hits on YouTube.
The prank was executed to
promote a new European TV
channel, and began with the
planting of a podium in the town
square atop of which was a large
red button with an arrow pointing
towards it saying press here to
add drama.
Once pressed a series of events
was set in motion, including the
arrival of an ambulance to collect
a man, who then rolls out of the
emergency vehicle on his stretcher,
followed by a cyclist who runs
into the van, which results in a
smack-down fight between the
cyclist and a paramedic, which
leads into a police shoot out and
a cameo by a woman in her
underwear speeding through the
town on a motorbike.

INTELLIGENT worry.
US scientists have posited that
worrying may have evolved along
with intelligence as a beneficial
trait.
The study found that high
intelligence and worry both
correlate with brain activity
measured by the depletion of the
nutrient choline in the subcortical
white matter of the brain, which,
according to study head Dr
Jeremy Coplan, Professor of
psychiatry at SUNY Downstate,
may mean that intelligence may
have co-evolved with worry.
The study compared patients
with generalised anxiety disorder
with healthy patients to assess
the relationship among IQ, worry,
and subcortical white matter
metabolism of choline.
In the healthy volunteers, high
IQ was associated with a lower
degree of worry, but in those
diagnosed with GAD, high IQ was
associated with a greater degree
of worry.
