It’s time for some new weekly links while you’re busy munching on those Easter Eggs. This weeks offerings consist of a new study linking breast cancer to the frequent use of bras, another study that points to artists having differently structured brains, a video on the scam of engagement rings, and some insight into the magical world of snails.

Happy reading everyone, and Happy Easter too 😀

This is one scary study I think all bra wearers should read. One statistic that kind of freaked me out was:

Why Engagement Rings Are a Scam (see video below)

I’m probably ruining the glamour of weddings for a few people out there, but this is a really well put together video (and pretty funny too). Something to consider, ladies, when hassling your boy to buy that rock :/
