Enzyme could determine obesity

I figured it was either this or an allergy of some sort!

Red Tie, Blue Tie, Powerful or Creative guy?

Does it matter whether one wears red or blue?

Red is associated with love, power, nobility and now, scientists say, attention to detail. Blue (the other preferred tie color of choice for business and politics) is now thought to boost creativity.

What would you do?
