DOODLING boosts brain!
Leader of the ‘Doodle
Revolution’, author of
Gamestorming, Sunni Brown, has
told reporters that doodling is in
fact just “thinking in disguise”.
“Doodling can actually be a
successful multi-modal learning
exercise,” Brown said.
“So it’s okay when a review of
Romeo and Juliet in English
class, for example, might get
played out via a doodle in
students’ notes.
“The graphic, visual
representation can actually help
with recall and memory,” he
added.
Brown is also offering to
provide his ‘expert feedback’ on
doodles submitted to
www.sharpieuncapped.com.
STRANGE delays caused by bros.
Older brothers may delay the
onset of their younger female
siblings menstrual periods,
according to new University of
Western Sydney research.
“What we found was that there
was an older age at menarche
[when a girl first gets her period]
for girls who had older brothers,”
said researcher, Dr Debra Judge.
The study took into account
responses from 273 Aussies, with
findings showing females with
older brothers were more likely to
get their period one year later
than females who were the oldest.
Researchers were unable to
explain the phenomenon saying
“It could be a physiological effect
in terms of food or some other
sort of resource, but I doubt it.
“Or it could be some sort of
psychosocial process that’s
slowing down the girls’ maturity.”
DON’T disturb the bear!
Police officers in Canada’s
British Columbia who discovered
a cache of marijuana crops were
surprised to discover ten rather
lax black bear guardians on duty.
Initially the officers feared for
their safety during the seizure, but
were pleased to learn that having
been kept very well fed the bears
had no problem chilling out and
watching the crops disappear.
