Increasing your IQ by 150 points is a hell of a claim. Average (on Earth at least) is 100, below 70 and you're gonna struggle with shoelaces, over 130 and you're doing pretty good and 150+ will get you into Mensa. Taking an average person and whacking them up to an IQ of 250 would be ridiculous. And extra 30 points would be a big increase, but 150? I don't even know how you could accurately measure something like this.

Of course, this is probably just a spammer lie, but normally they're not so whopping.

Would the perplexians be using the same scale as we do for IQ? It seems strange to think that they would base their system with 100 for the average Earthling. These people are supposed to be great with puzzles and are a very intellectual society, it seems like their average IQ would be in the region of 150 by our standards

There was a great programme by the BBc's Horizon programme called

"derek tastes of earwax" basically on Synaesthesia. Whenever this one person said or thought of the name derek - he tasted earwax. Those who have it experience it differently.

For some Monday might taste of hot sticky fudge whilst another sees it as Red. The earliest abilities of language are said to derive from our ability to associate sounds with words or objects.

To add to the Synaesthesia based references, there is a teenage-fiction book called '[google]Mondays are Red[/google]' where the entire book is writen from a synaethetic point of view. Man, did it hurt my head trying to understand some of the description...

Hmm, I've got a friend who always describes things in colours - similarly to how you say napier, the days of the week are a common point. I'd never thought that they might actually have this condition, I just thought they were being generally weird. Although, knowing them, they probably were just being generally weird.

That was a pointless post. Hey ho.
