what animal has the shortest attention span?

[missmhart]

i'm asking because i can't seem to spend more than 10 minutes (and that's being generous) on any one thing. i'm blaming my migraine meds. this is a known side effect. :( grrr. and of course there's a big project at work that needs to be done by thursday.

here's to a week of stress and cranky mags.

I believe...a goldfish at about 3-4 seconds.

Feel better soon!

No, that is, in fact, a myth. Indeed, MythBusters did a segment on that one, they trained goldfish to run mazes and proved that they retained their knowledge of mazes over long periods of time.

Fair enough. That's what I get for not watching TV at all. And from the video on youtube apparently Jamie ate it afterwards. (Just kidding, that's a myth)

Please, never share that Jamie-ate-a-goldfish myth with my five-year-old. He loves Jamie, and he loves fishies, and I don't know that he would ever recover.

excellent choice of icon there. ;)
i think right now between the two of us we could rival the attention span of a chihuahua on crack. if we try real hard.
