Tweak Your Brain With Colors

Psychologists at the University of British Columbia have conducted a study on the cognitive effects of colors. They found that red helped subjects concentrate while blue led to greater creativity.

"Think about red, and what comes to mind: stop lights, stop signs, danger, ambulances…People want to avoid those things, and that's why they do better on detail-oriented tasks…Blue is the color of the sky, the ocean, safety…When their environment is safe, people are more explorative."

Vactung! (achtung!)

i like the word poo. better than some alternatives. (also the british equivalent of 'poop,' from what i can tell. and that makes it funnier. proper impropriety.)

I'm not getting this. You dig a hole to excrete into, then, when it's full, you remove the effluent and put it "somewhere else"?

If your final resting place is close enough to carry buckets of crap to, why not dump there in the first place?
