I remembered the Chinese tale of how cooking was invented. When a pig, accidentally roasted in a house fire, turned out to be tasty (why taste it? Why?), it was realized that roast pork could be had again if only another house burned down. Unfortunately, several houses were lost before a less costly method could be devised, but eventually, it is said, cooking was born.

There is plenty of talk these days about Indigo children, the specially
gifted young generation that is said to be with us now.

(I admit I had to try hard not to link to my daughter’s photo page with that indigo link ;-))

Only few have heard of the Chernobyl generation. Yet, according to
Russian doctors who have been keeping close track of the children
exposed to radiation following the 1986 nuclear disaster in the
Ukraine, there is strong evidence of a superior group.
Kids growing up in areas damaged by the radiation are said to
have higher IQs and faster reaction time. They also reportedly are
growing faster and have stronger immune systems. Professor Vladimir Mikhalev from Bryansk State University told the British newspaper The Sun, that his research showed the mental agility and health of kids in affected areas was clearly superior to those from unaffected areas.

You understand that this requires some more experiments. So any nuclear power plant adjacent city for guinea pig?
