Ten things we didn't know last week ...

Here are ten things that researchers have discovered this week: 

• Lack of sleep can create 'false' memories of events that have never taken place.
• Grunting genuinely gives tennis players an advantage by helping them return the ball faster.
• Pyramid tea bags are proven to 'have better brewing efficiency' i.e. to make a better cuppa tea than round ones.
• Children as young as three recognise 'cute' features in babies, kittens and puppies.
• Eating probiotic yogurt may improve blood pressure.
• People with vitamin D deficiency are twice as likely to be diagnosed with schizophrenia than those with sufficient levels of it.
• Bats get the bends when they fly too near to the blades of wind turbines.
• Seals, on the other hand, are using offshore wind farms to their advantage because these 'artificial reefs' attract more fish and crustaceans. 
• Elephants have the most effective sense of smell of all mammals
• Dogs feel jealous towards other dogs, even stuffed ones.

So now so, stick all that in yer pipes and smoke them.

Hmmm ... fascinating!
