10 Weird Things You Didn't Know Could Make You Smarter

Who needs college when you can have whisky?

Whether they're Einstein reincarnated or a reality TV star, everyone wants to be smarter. Sadly, the trouble with the conventional ways of increasing intelligence is that they can be so€ boring. While eating healthily all the time, watching as little television as possible, and taking regular exercise may all increase your IQ, wouldn€™t it be great if there were easier and more enjoyable ways to improve brainpower? Hold the phone, there actually are. Now you don€™t have to do anything as outlandish as furthering your education in order to become the Sheldon Cooper of your social group; there are much quicker and simpler solutions available. Although be warned, not all of these things may work as well as the old fashioned methods of increasing braininess, there are some which may actually be dangerous if performed excessively. So if you€™re ever accused of over-indulging in any of the following, then at least now you can say that you€™re merely exercising your brain. Rather than being told off for it, people should be congratulating you for going out of your way to better yourself. They may be weird, some may be a bit perilous, and some may just not work at all, but if increasing your IQ is easier to achieve with these methods - as opposed to hard work - then why not give them a try?
