    First-born get the brains.

    Don't tell my younger sister (because I'm going to the second I post this), but according to a new study, the first-born in a family has, on average, a 2.3 point  higher IQ than their younger sibling. 2.3 points supposedly amounts to a 30% increase in the chances of getting into an Ivy League university.

    Do they do these studies just for people like me to blog about?

    Happy Father's Day. Now what's it worth?

    Happy Father's Day. A friend of mine who works over at Salary.com sent this study they did recently about Stay At Home Dads. Apparently I'm worth $128,755 per year which, honestly I think is a bargain. I just wish we were actually saving $128K a year.

    Oh, and we're worth $10K less than Stay at Home Moms supposedly. Maybe it's because my wife does the laundry in the family.
