Yopu're probably right, Intoxi....

Another interesting one i found:

Playing Mozart to babies boosts their intelligence.

This is known as the 'Mozart Effect.' It was originally proposed by two researchers, Rauscher and Shaw, who reported a small gain for pre-schoolers who had listened to Mozart.
However, it turns out that their finding was merely a fluke (what researchers call a Type 1 error). In other words, a couple of the kids scored high on the day of testing, and a couple of other kids scored unusually low, for reasons that had nothing to do with the fact that Mozart was played.
Research into the subject has since found that there is no Mozart effect.
This has not stopped the so-called effect from becoming a multi-million dollar industry.

i guess i will find out in the coming years if this worked... or not....
