< the other two notable observations were that these individuals are generally considered slightly better-looking than average (by other people) and also suffer from a higher incidence of myopia.>
Thanks Tal-that is interesting that there have been studies about this so there may very well be a corelation between bad eyesight and the pursuit of the written word. Many of the little ones in my class room may only be needing glasses for a short time as eyes at this young age are going through some adjustment. So, I learned something and guess I can't get too up tight when people say my bad eyesight is because I read too much! But then being a 4-/5 I guess I tend to be sensitive to stuff-but I'm working on that!
(I like the better- looking part--ha!)
