So it turns out that porn can make you blind, well temporarily so they say.
The article goes on to explain how gorey and erotic images require so much processing that attention lapses caused subjects to miss what image comes next. The researchers conclude these types of images must induce some kind of primay survival response.
I can see the conservatives eating this up. What about the possibility this is more psychological than physical?

The Washington Post has a story about workplace boredom and how it effects employees, companies, and safety.
I can definitly relate to this situation because I’m one of those people who isnt challenge at work. The past few weeks Ive been spending the extra time doing research for my paper at aKademy. Companies constantly cut back workers to save money, yet they dont get as much as they can out of the ones they have.
