Fun with Referrer Logs

This one is from yesterday--picks anvil lavigne. Must be one of Acme Records' new artists. Gotta love that soulful rendition of "Anvil Chorus."

And another, from that kindly Jeeves fellow, who directs a person to the smoldering trash dump that is Possumblog when he or she asks him: I think better at work when I sit down instead of stand, why?

I often get questions like this, because of the many long years I studied both brainiology and workpathy (the combined form of "work" and "apathy"). Discounting the possibilities that our querist is not a race car driver or an airline pilot, probably the best reason you think better at work while sitting goes back to the fact that although our brains are like, real smart, they are limited in what they can do. When you stand up, your brain thinks, "Whoa, something ELSE to keep up with!", because, you know, it has to make you balance and all. If you sit down, your brain is freed from worrying itself about your body suddenly tumping over, and thus it is able to use its Balance Thingy (or BT for those of us who have studied it) for complex computational tasks, like trying to figure out how to play Minesweeper.

So there.
