There's some splendid news for the amply-chested woman this week – research claims that ladies with big breasts have an IQ which is, on average, 10 points higher than their smaller-chested sisters.

I've always assumed that my cleavage was incredibly clever on the basis that around 50pc of the population address it – and not my face – when speaking to me.

I can also definitely attest to the fact that it came in handy during my maths GCSE retake on the basis that it was abundant enough to hide a piece of paper that showed me how to work out quadratic equations.

And I passed.

On the minus side, those with larger chests tend to run slower than those with a smaller bra size.

On the plus side, I only plan to run if I am being chased by a bear or a psychopath, so it's a small price to pay for being a genius.
