Right then, so its taken a "scientist" to work out that taxi drivers use a part of their brain to tell them where to go? No st.

Who pays for all these studies that come out with bl00dy obvious results???

Saw this yesterday and said/thought exactly the same thing. The BBC, aren't they just... rubbish now?

Going away from the thread original subject somewhat but check out this story from the Beeb. All ok (apart from terribly sad subject) but check out the last two paragraphs. How is that related to that story, really?????

Maybe they had to fluff out the story to fill the standard page?

I believe the point of the study was working out WHICH bits of brain help them do specific jobs. The headline is ste though.
