So you think you are intelligent eh?

I have to tell you about the book that I have just finished reading a couple of days ago. It is called A Short History of Nearly Everything, and surprisingly enough, the title is very accurate. The book really does cover nearly everything, from the Big Bang to here, being us.

It's a bit heavy going at first, as your brain tries to process all the information, but you soon get into the flow of it, and then it hits you. You think you are quite intelligent, and would get to at least £250,000 if you went on 'Who wants to be a Millionaire', but after reading this book, you realize that you knew very little about a great deal of things.

I highly recommend this book to everyone. Some of the facts are quite mind boggling. You will never look at anything the same way again.
