QuoteThe image of jubilation concealed the end of his marriage after a chaplain handed him a "Dear John" letter from his wife mere days before he reached the base.

"I have changed drastically — forced into a situation where I finally had to grow up," she wrote in part. "Bob, I feel sure that in your heart you know we can't make it together — and it doesn't make sense to be unhappy when you can do something about it. Life is too short."

The couple ended up divorcing and both got remarried within the year.

QuoteMuhammed Kendirci had been working as an apprentice when he was allegedly overpowered by coworker Habip Aksoy and an unidentified friend, who first tied his hands for what they claimed was a 'prank'.

His trousers were then forcibly removed and high-pressure air from a compressor was directed into his bum.

But the so-called prank exploded his intestines causing catastrophic injuries and leaving him fighting for his life when emergency services were called to the scene.

QuoteTo compute the intelligence of nations, measured IQ and achievement test results are used. While these are not perfect measurements of intelligence, IQ scores are predictive of socially important outcomes and show low levels of bias between groups (Jensen, 1980), in contrast to personality measurements which are confounded by reference group effects (Credé et al., 2010).

Multiple sources of data were consulted, including psychometric estimates (Becker unweighted, Becker sample-weighted, Becker quality-weighted), scholastic estimates (World Bank test scores, basic skills dataset, PISA 2022 results, Becker scholastic estimates, Rindermann scholastic estimates), and composite estimates (Lynn & Vanhanen 2012, Lynn & Vanhanen 2002, Becker composite, Rindermann composite). If a dataset included geographic imputations, the imputations were removed.

The average IQ of the world is 85.3 when weighted by population size.
