When we got back to the dorm, I noticed that my fly had been open the entire time we walked around campus. I'm sure I made a great first impression.

As a man who loves to watch sports, I am proud to say that my large TV set is my most prized possession. What's the most embarrassing CD/Album in your collection?The Raspberries Greatest Hits. It's kind of embarrassing, but I still like to listen to it anyway. What's your favorite article of clothing?A plain navy blue t-shirt. What movie would you like to have been in?A Hard Day's Night.

HOURGLASS FIGURE EQUALS BRAINS?
 The New York Post reports: These hips don't lie - women with hourglass figures tend to be more intelligent and have smarter kids, a new study says. Researchers have even come up with a scientific explanation for their theory - and for why men prefer voluptuous women with large hips and small waists. It's all about omega-3 fatty acids and a woman's waist-to- hip ratio, or WHR - a mea surement that, according to an online calculator offered by Rush University Med ical Center in Chicago, "looks at the proportion of body fat stored on your waist compared to that stored at your hips and buttocks." You calculate it by dividing the waist circumference by the hip circumfer ence. The lower the WHR, the better, according to the study by William Lassek of the University of Pittsburgh and Steven Gaulin of the University of California at Santa Barbara. The study found that women who had a larger difference be tween their waist and hip mea surements scored higher in tests than did those with "apple-shaped" bodies. "Women with lower WHRs and their chil dren have significantly higher cognitive test scores," their study found. They say that's because the fat on a woman's hips and thighs contains omega-3 fatty acids, which help in "critical brain-building" - and the curvier the hips, the higher the level. The fat around the waist has higher qualities of omega-6 fatty acids, less helpful to brain growth. For more on the story, click the picture above. MORNING MINDBENDER
