Playing Video Games makes you a better surgeon

Somewhat tangential, but I was just watching the Discovery channel and they had a story about a laproscopic surgeon (where you operate with waldos) named James Rosser who ran a study that found that video game players were 42% better surgeons than non-gamers.

Tiny article on the subject can be found here:

Yeah I saw that on TV. Somehow I'm not surprised.

Making pizzas in Space Rangers 2 taught me how to bring about World Peace, cause after you've won a pizza recipe contest with judges who have mutually exclusive tastes everything else is easy by comparison.
