Does there have to be a reason for everything? Can't people these days do things just out of unconditional love and compassion towards other fellow earth inhabitants?
:(
So why did I do it? Simply because I can. I can do stuff and as long as I'm in this world, I want to do as much stuff as I can.
UNDERSTAND? :mad:
Oh and btw, it wasn't me. :p :

Why?
It's one of the seven wonders of the human brain: When we pay attention to something, it seems to become brighter, more distinct, more memorable. We pay attention to a passing billboard, and notice the smiling lady holding a paint brush, and even the name of her paint store. Otherwise, we may absently observe a human silhouette on the billboard, without seeing the face or absorbing the all-important marketing message. We see a car stalled at the roadside, but don't notice whether it's a mauve Mazda or a maroon Mercury. Obviously, pointing our eyes at a scene will make us more likely to register details. But that's not the whole story. Simply making a decision to pay attention, without moving the eyes, also changes the sensory machinery inside the brain.
But why? Scientists have suggested that paying attention may make a given stimulus as effective as a larger stimulus, or cause it to evoke a stronger response, with the neurons firing faster. In a new study, neuroscientist Marcia Grabowecky of Northwestern University and her colleagues found that paying attention affects neurons primarily by making them fire more synchronously, effectively producing a stronger response to the stimulus.— David Tenenbaum
Why did I post this? Because! :confused:

To answer Caroline's little query:
WHY = MYSTERY + UNKNOWN ANSWERS (uA)
WHY - MYSTERY = BLATANTLY OBVIOUS
BLATANTLY OBVIOUS + WHY = SACK EMPLOYEE ;)
