Shiny sparkles - (Sun, 28 Dec 2008 21:11:40 +0000)
Blondes like shiny things. I know it. You know it. Everyone who has ever bought a blonde a present knows it. However, in the true spirit of the scientists that we are, now we have scientific proof of this glaringly obvious fact.
American scientists investigating brain activity with functional MRI scanners found that visual areas in the brain respond more to valuable objects than to junk. They suggest that objects which have been associated with material value int he past may have more visual representation when seen again.
Well - duh - shiny!
