Re: war and religion and IQ (was RE: IQ)

[Jeffrey Nagelbush]

There is actually another link between death and IQ.  Riegel and Riegel 
(1972) reported a terminal drop.      There was a sudden drop in ability 
(measure on IQ and other tests) that occurs within 5 years of death.

Actually, thanks to the Flynn effect, the size of the average drop 
increases over the years... as I recall,
about 5 points per decade. :-)
