Maybe We Should Have Salmon After All?

Recalling that Bertie Wooster attributed Jeeves' intellect to eating lots of fish (he overlooked reading Spinoza before breakfast), the following New York Times headline caught my eye: "Does Eating Salmon Lower the Murder Rate?" Seems some certified spart people at Georgia Tech found that high intake of Omega 3 fatty acids correlates with lower rates of violence. (But I thought the lower rates of violence in Georgia were because they had more guns; see: John Lott--Ed. Yes, but perhaps they are using those guns to shoot the salmon they eat, thus confounding the statisticians.)
