The great IQ scandal

I like this article because has many conflict to determine great IQ.For me,IQ is not something that you can determine but its depend on the individual itself.

The Great IQ Scandal

This story is about a professor who wants to prove that IQ was mostly receiving by genetic transmission. I was totally interested with this story because I want to know deeply about the professor research (IQ). Maybe madam can put up some information on statistic of the research or else so that the story can be more interesting. Until now, we cannot conclude this theory because there are so much arguments and opinions.

The amazing Tasaday Tribe

For me this article show how fake they are to protect the Tasaday people. Even though the main motif was to protect the Tasaday tribe, somehow they need to let the Tasaday to be independent by their own path of life. For me it make me being fool by the way they show how traditional they are to survive in life,until being known in the television headlines,cover of National Geographic and were subjected of a best selling book.
I briefly said I hate the way they pretend and lies to the world.

The great IQ scandal:

i like this story..this story about IQ was most inherited..I like Sir Cyril Burt even though many researchers found that some of key research into IQ was false..But i think Burt is a man that brave to give his opinion..Until now that IQ inherited still remains open.

Alien is such a weird creature that until now, we can't determine their real identity. Since i was young, i'm always thinking about alien life on another planet. Until now, there is no answer. Is this creature really exist???

I like this article because the content of mysterious story. In my opinion this things is happen accidentally. Every people have their own reason about this incident. This incident will become mysteries for ever because no one has any concrete evidence.

Title: The Great IQ Scandal

Professor from University College London, Sir Cyril Burt claimed that human IQ was mostly inherited. Researchers found that Sir Cyril studies was not worthy and some of the key research was untrue. I do admire this Professor because he manages to left a very big question mark to scientist until today.

The signature of God

I am attract to this article because it tells us about how a finding from a researcher turned out to be a prank planned by his own colleagues.The researcher then did something drastic as he was willing to buy back all copies of his book.It is rare we come across such incident.This particular incident taught me that people can resort to anything just to bring one down.It gives me a warning that we must always be caution of our actions and surroundings.

Hajar, Izzat, Zaim & Zulkarnain,
Despite the accusation, Sir Cyril Burt was a renowned figure in his field. I don't have the statistics or data of his research that was claimed to be false, but if you want to know more about him you can go this link

And if you want to test your IQ, you can try these links:

I don't know how reliable is the test, but it's interesting to try.

The story of The Alien corpse at Roswell is my favourite. This is because I like mistery story very much. Also this story had cause my attention and interest to read, especially that alien wording. For the other stories, they dint bring my interest to read so much. The story of alien tell us about the exist of alien creature living in the galaxy and it may visit to our world.

Title : The Alien Corpse at Roswell

I like this story so much because it is so mystifying, puzzling and unexplained story. Until today, this story still cannot be proven because the evidence is not very strong and many are coming up with fake evidences for publicity and money. In my opinion, I do believe in existence of another life far away from our galaxy and one day we will discover them or discovered by them. Thank you

Thank You for the video URL friends. It is really interesting and mysterious.

Title : A Crop of Circles

I like this article because it is about a paranormal things happen at a crop field. Its reminds me of the movie "The Sign". The circles at the crop field signify a lot of mystics things. The cause of this occurrence stays unknown. Some people claims it is a work of aliens and some think that is a prank by human beings as well.
