According to these guys, just experiencing things that are out of the ordinary makes you more creative.

This explains so much.

Well, duh, I,would think that is rather intuitive.  They paid someone to study that?

It's not that unusual experiences improve cognitive flexibility that I was surprised by, so much as how readily it does it.

Though given the people out there, I have to wonder how so few people could have so few interesting experiences.

I guess that also reinforces my firm belief that everyone's a freak and the ones who seem normal are just better at hiding it.  :lulz:

I think that's pretty close to the truth.

the most significant part of this article is that it is apparently a breakfast delicacy in the Netherlands to have a butter and chocolate chip sandwich.
