I ran across this and wanted to share it. It's worth watching. TED talks are always interesting and this one is about sports, so that's a bonus!!!

That was pretty interesting. I read somewhere once that the same theory applies to IQ. We're not getting smarter, we're just teaching to the test better.

TED talks had some really good stuff. My favorite was the one on parasites that alter behavior of the host. Freaky stuff.
