Also I would like an answer to this question.
Someone mentioned that while watching too much TV decreases IQ,
Radio listening is actually shown to increase IQ. Is there any
concrete evidence/sites/publishings in this regard ?

If it were true, it might be because the more intelligent people
*choose* to listen to radio instead of television. The radio doesn't
make them smarter. They find radio more interesting because of their
intelligence.

I'm not sure we are more intelligent, but I figure we are more
imaginative. We have to fill in the blanks during fadeouts, and the
conspiratorialists have us connecting the dots.

Why, the mere mention of floride can put me into a mental be-bop of
ideas, images and conspiracies. The NWO gets me into a Charlie Parker
swirl.

Radio hosts expose what they claim are the real powers behind the
scenes, and every day the Last Day Prophet of God tells the world as we
know it will be ending very soon.

And what do our couch potato brethren watch? A Victoria's Secret
underwear show which leaves little to the imagination, perhaps?

I think the intelligent choice is clear.

"When television came roaring in after the war (World War II) they did a
little school survey asking children which they preferred and why -
television or radio. And there was this 7-year-old boy who said he
preferred radio because the pictures were better."

Stan Freiberg likes that story, too. Now I'm trying to picture Fred
Allen passing himself off as a 7 year old.

I don't want to imply imagination is a universal attribute of radio
listeners. Consider the small subset who consider the entertaining
radio talk show blowhards to be some kind of great modern philosophers.
Sheesh. Better to learn physics from Warner Brothers cartoons.

True! But his plans never would have gotten off the ground if not for
the fine products found in the Acme catalog. And since a deaf guy has
already been a talk show host, I have to figure Acme has a gadget to
help a mute coyote enter the exciting world of radio babble.

Imagine the possibilitles! The coyote could use half his show to
mischaracterize road runners, and the other half to expose those
mischaracterized road runners as evil unpatriotic fools.

There's good money in that, too. The coyote need never again worry
where his next meal is coming from. It would only be a matter of months
before the coyote developed the rotund physique so fashionable among the
talkalti.

Starman,

It was suggested that I study Theatrical Physics in Collage.

You should be studying "How to type anything without using +, = and
signs 101".
