genius for a second

There was a very short moment when I thought I could prove my ingenuity thanks to the latest batch of research.

'Parrently, playing music can make you smart according to a neuroscientist at Northwestern University.

Yippee. I thought. Wait 'til I tell the missus. She who is brainy and doesn't get the whole 'playing-your-music-so-loud-it-gets-your-heart-pounding-in-time' ting.

And then I read past the first few lines. They mean playing an instrument.

Sigh.

So, erm, do spoons count as two instruments?
