As I'm staring down the very scary barrel of my way-too-quickly approaching 30's, it appears I'm dumber than I thought. Or, at least, dumber than I was three years ago. According to this report from the BBC, Professor Timothy Salthouse of the University of Virginia found reasoning, spatial visualization and speed of thought all decline in our late 20s. So you're shit out of luck by the time you're 50. At 60, they'll be spoon-feeding you applesauce and the highlight of your day is dropping a deuce in your pants after watching the HR Pufnstuf re-run on television.Had this report come out a few years ago, I would have attempted to do something with my life. Solving the starvation problem. Studying quarks and time travel. Designing a better Pringles can. Instead, I'm spending this weekend applying for a handicapped parking permit and recording my thoughts on video for the younger generations.

This is already the highlight of my day. Not to brag, but Momma always told me I was a little advanced for my age.
Try looking at law school in your mid thirties after reading about that study and realizing that your classmates will be mostly not yet hit their prime mid twenty-somethings....
I think they need to define who they actually studied....and how many substances were involved in their earlier years...those Sugar (Corn) Pops are nothing to play around with....
