BTW OT, enviously, my dad had his full set of natural teeth all in good order at age 92 when he passed away (nope, he had to go to nirvana even though he had perfect teeth), and a full head of white hair. My mom's teeth know no cavity or gum disease. Our dentist calls us 'boring', year after profitless year:0) Ok, enough teeth, back to chaos. Chugs, Jay

Re: Flynn effect. Kids who are raised in "rich" environments have higher IQs than kids who aren't. By rich, I don't mean money, I mean books, crafts, art, music, museum trips, trips to zoos, trips to planetariums, toys, even television. I read to my boys when they were little all the time, every day, but they both started reading spontaneously when they were three. I think they learned the alphabet by watching Sesame Street. Swear to God. The developmental psych books I was reading said "don't push them" so I didn't. Yeah, they have high IQs, but I think the "rich" environment I provided made a lot of difference. We were "frequent fliers" at the Smithsonian, and every aquarium and zoo and museum and historical landmark within reach. Not to mention bookstores and libraries. I don't think it's surprising that kids keep getting smarter - they've got access to all the knowledge of the universe, here online.
