In Japan the programmer credited to thinking up the extremely popular Nintendo game Brain Training refused to be paid 15 million dollars in royalties. Mister Kawashima said people should only be entitles to money they actually worked for and that he is perfectly satisfied with his annual 70.000 euros paycheck.

He is planning to use the money on research for projects he is already working on for years. Not taking all the money does not make him very popular with his family and friends. They seem to have their own ideas about spending all the money.

Marriages between distant cousins on Iceland seem to be far more productive then ‘normal’ marriages. On average more children and grandchildren are born as a result of marriages between men and women who are (distantly) related. This became clear after a study on the matter was published in the scientific magazine Science this week. Research was done under supervision of Agnar Helgason of biotech company deCode Genetics.

A study was made on all marriages on the island between 1800 and 1965. Surprisingly marriages between cousins in the third and fourth grade came out on top of the fertility scale. The researchers involved in the study suspect a biological reason is behind these figures. These cousins probably benefit from affinity within the family as well as a healthy amount of genetic mixture.

In many countries marriages and reproduction between cousins is strictly prohibited by law. The risk for diseases because of genetic resemblance is considered too large by scientists.
