Right, the triceratops (cool name) was a reptile.

They didn't look like reptiles, though. Wasn't the word "reptile" means "crawling"/"slithering"? Triceratops just walked normally, didn't they?

I don't think so.. hmm

A reptile is a cold-blooded vertebrate of a class that includes snakes, lizards, crocodiles, turtles, and tortoises. They are distinguished by having a dry scaly skin, and typically laying soft-shelled eggs on land.

Well, if rhinoceros isn't a descendant of Triceratops despite being similar because rhinoceros is a mammal and Triceratops is a reptile, maybe the true descendant of Triceratops is this thing?

It is also three-horned quadripedal reptile, after all.

Interesting theory.

Maybe the similarities between triceratops and the rhino is an example of convergent evolution.

Higher IQ means Higher Sex Drive

The adult sex toy retailer, Lovehoney, reported that there is a very strong correlation between intelligence and sex drives. Based on their sales data, they showed a “heightened interest in sex among students in the Russell Group of elite universities.” Based on that data, one could extrapolate that smarter people have higher sex drives. That doesn’t however mean that they have more sex. According to a 2007 article entitled “Intercourse and Intelligence,” 80% of U.S. males and 75% of U.S. women have had sex by the age of 19. Compare that to 56% of Princeton undergraduates, 59% of Harvard undergraduates and 51% of MIT undergraduates who report having had sexual intercourse. Amazingly, only 65% of MIT graduate students have ever had sex. This doesn’t mean that smart people have less sex, it means that they are pickier and smarter about it.

Burj Khalifa is so tall, you could view a sunset twice if you saw it first at the base and then immediately used the rather fast elevators the building has to go to the top floor...
