A "better" answer to why is the Martian sky blue, or why is the Earth's sky blue, or why are human eyes blue (there is no blue eye pigment):
Ugh. Ugh. Ugh!
Although in all fairness, hog "scolders" are pretty entertaining.
So, in summary... the "Occupy Movement" doesn't know wtf it's talking about.
I get excited about blindingly brilliant stuff that makes one of the universe's greatest tech bloggers ooze with heaping helpings of high-minded hyperbole.
The pineapple doled out an injudicious challenge.
At first I wanted to dismiss this as some sort of Al Jazeera propaganda, then I read the article... which is a very good article, very credibly sourced, with links to stuff like this. I'm no alarmist, but I don't really want to eat any Gulf shrimp right about now.

In numerous analyses... brain size does correlate to intelligence. "There is no longer any doubt that a larger brain predicts greater intelligence."
Heck, I'm impatient. I went ahead and did a lit search for a brain size vs. IQ dataset, because I was 100% convinced that the slope of the correlation between brain size and IQ was not in the 0.36 neighborhood; I was right. What you were talking about must have been the correlation coefficient, and you must have been…
A statistical aside...
1) I never thought about it, but did Einstein really have a small brain? For sure, there's profoundly more variability in human intelligence than there is in human brain size.
Argue with Carl, not me... I plagiarized.
Brain size has much more than "zero" correlation to intelligence... which you probably already knew. From a trend perspective, throughout the entire animal kingdom, brain size is very correlatable to intelligence. I'm not surprised that a large study found some linkage between brain size & intelligence for (modern)…
"Ashton Kutcher" anagrams to "Hack other nuts."
A 4th dimensional being could transport you through locked doors (and see inside any room without you knowing they're watching you), appear in different points of space simultaneously, and look inside your body and see all your organs and blood without an X-ray (all hypothetically, of course).
