Concentration-Aid

You probably think that my decision to post this photo of an intensely cute bunny is gratuitous and rather shallow, but I have just increased your attention span and ability to concentrate by showing it to you. It seems that Japanese researchers have discovered that looking at photos of adorable baby animals (yes, they must be babies) helps people to concentrate in measurable ways. As if I needed more encouragement to look at baby animals! Now I think my weakness for them is not a little embarrassing or immature, but a rather wise response to my brain's demand for this concentration-aid!
