- Definitive proof that Munroe's a devout Christian.
 
 
This happens to women in the proximity of babies, which has led me to believe that babies' brains develop by absorbing the intelligence of women in their immediate surroundings.
 
  
 
I'm sure if you will be doing IQ test with cat, you will score lower. Especially if the cat would lie on the paper. So ... let's say that the reduction of IQ near cats is in normal circumstances temporary. -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 08:54, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

:That would be your scored or graded intelligence quotient, not your actual IQ. If someone is giving you an electric shock while you're trying to walk during a walking test you may fail the test, but that doesn't mean you're bad at walking. {{unsigned ip|173.245.52.180}}
 
::btw there is no such thing as an "actual IQ"... IQ is a score based on the test and the test only. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.219.70|108.162.219.70]] 06:57, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
 
 
I vote we remove the "Incomplete" tag. Said tag is labeled "Come on...", but I honestly don't see how this could be expanded upon. [[Special:Contributions/169.233.101.195|169.233.101.195]] 07:32, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
 
 
;toxoplasmosis?
 
 
recent studies have linked Toxoplasmosis to various mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, ADHD, OCD, and has been linked to suicidal behavior in humans. Studies have also shown that persons with latent Toxoplasma gondii infections have a higher rate of automotive accidents, though whether this is because of impaired motor function or if it's because of a heightened risk-reward center is uncertain. It seems to be a symbiotic organism for cats--it causes no symptoms in cats and is carried normally in their feces. however, rodents that become infected with T.gondii stop fearing the smell of cat urine, ultimately making it easier for the cat to catch and eat the rodent, improving the quality of life for both the cat and the protozoan. The thing is, literally, a mind control parasite. about a third of humans are infected with T.gondii (mostly from unwashed vegetables and undercooked meats rather than from contact with cat feces). I wonder to what extent this "cat proximity" observation may have to do with T.gondii having evolved to make humans like cats and want to comfort them and feed them.

'''Nick Fury''' I wonder how many people thought of this comic when they watched Captain Marvel? [[Special:Contributions/162.158.34.178|162.158.34.178]] 12:05, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
