I took a tests and measurement class (psychometry) in college and the professor informed the group that SAT scores are pretty good predictors of college performance. However, he said that there's one even better indicator. And what's that you ask?
parents' income
Yep, the single, stand-alone, best predictor of college performance is the income of your parents. That's just a correlation (review: correlations aren't necessarily causative) and if you think about it it makes sense. Of course, you never hear about this because there'd be a riot among those that become indignant easily.
Sure, lets scrap the SAT. Instead of getting the college board to send you SAT scores to colleges, you could get the IRS to send your parent's tax returns.
You're probably thinking of corneal ring implants. They insert a small (clear) plastic ring that changes the shape of the lens if I remember correctly. Last I heard, which was probably two or three years ago, it was in limited clinical trials.

You've got it backwards. Pokemon red/blue came first, then because of the popularity of these games in Japan, they put together the cartoon series.
Get your information straight before you post.
