I don't believe it. I'll have to test this theory.
If I'm not back in a week don't come looking for me.

Proof that on Ann Coulter threads it's always bad luck to have your reply appear just after her photo. Sigh.

Most of the images were landscape or architectural scenes, but the psychologists included a few emotionally charged images, portraying violent or sexually provocative scenes.“We observed that people failed to detect visual images that appeared one-fifth of a second after emotional images, whereas they can detect those images with little problem after neutral images,” Zald says.
Is it possible that, if someone is watching tree after building after tree after building after tree go by, that ANYTHING ELSE causes this same reaction?
Maybe a picture of a rutabaga would do the same thing, after trees and buildings.
Is it possible that it's just freakin' BOREDOM setting in?
