Mensa is partnering with Match.com to create a dating site where geniuses can find a partner. 

- It's expected to be a lot less popular than it's sister site eStudpidity.com.

- The problem is, anyone smart enough to be in Mensa would be way too smart to try on-line dating.

- The "Star Spangled Banner" will now officially be replaced by Jackie Wilson's "Higher and Higher".  

*****

Organizers of the Miss Florida beauty pageant crowned the wrong girl after a vote countering error.  

- Apparently they got the girls hanging chads mixed up.

The Oscar Pistorius murder trial resumed Monday after a 30-day psychiatric evaluation.

*****

A study by Emory University found that Chimpanzees prefer music from India and Africa over Western music.
