Mozart & the Fighter Pilot

OK, I'm the last guy to try to convince you that Fighter Pilots are smarter than the average guy. We might be luckier. We might have a specific, job-related skill set. We might even have a cognitive angle that aids in solving spatial relationship problems in realtime. But there is too much empirical evidence of Fighter Pilots behaving like developmentally disabled morons to say that we are, as a class, intellectually superior.

But strolling through Amazon.com just now I found this on my suggested book list:

Mozart's Brain & the Fighter Pilot: Unleashing Your Brain's Potential

Well, maybe we are a bit smarter....nahhh. Couldn't be true.
