A simple test at the age of three can determine whether children will grow up to be a burden on society, needing excessive welfare, spending time in prison or becoming obese, a 35-year study has shown.

Ah, the old marshmallow test. I'm pretty certain that all 5 of my kids would fail this spectacularly. You're welcome, society.

I've never heard of the National Post. Is this Canada's excuse of a newspaper?

The report comes from joint researchers at King's College London and Duke University. Now I have another reason to root against Duke.

Well, unlike present company, not everyone prefers to get their news from USA Today or foxnews.com.

Those are the only news sources in Canada? It's more of a wasteland than I ever imagined (and I imagined a pretty wasted land).

Smackjack is this the best you got lol Must be a really putrid week/month/year for you to be trolling like this. Playing Indiana in a bowl game not doing it for ya? Of course, I don't blame you. If you didn't have Bronco Mendenhall v2.0 as your head coach, the Utes would at least be playing in the Rose bowl, if not the Playoff! But maybe it's likely more indicative of your cowardly head basketball coaches scheduling machinations that's got you down? Cowering away from your rivals can mess with your head.

Look: we know you are a fan of Fox News and are quite excited by the prospects of a Trump presidency. The hoopla and all surrounding his inauguration should buoy you up during these tough Utah sports times; or give you something to look forward to at least.

I agree with you that the Utah football team was a very talented squad.
