- I have, in recent years, come to believe that IQ tests are a waste of time for most of us, and a waste of money for some of us. In fact, as a general rule of thumb, if you want to know how stupid you are, check to see if you're paying for an online IQ test.In the course of my short and, let's face it, aimless life, I've taken numerous IQ tests when bored, with scores ranging from the high e...

- "Welcome to Canada," Ken shouted to me over the roar of the rain and thunder. A constant downpour kept the photography workshop indoors.

Since I signed on for this tour of the Canadian Rockies, everything had gone ...
