Creative people have more sex, a new study has claimed.

Research has found professional artists and poets have around twice as many partners as people who do not indulge in such creative activities.

The authors said the study could explain why poets such as Lord Byron and Dylan Thomas and artists like Pablo Picasso tended to be such notorious bed-hoppers.

And here.....

The research also showed that creative people share some personality characteristics with people who suffer from mental illnesses.

If not just an interesting article it must be link of the year...... :)
