The Door

[Fred Weiss]

Ever walk into a room with some purpose in mind, only to completely forget what that purpose was?

Turns out, doors themselves are to blame for these strange memory lapses.

Psychologists at the University of Notre Dame have discovered that passing through a doorway triggers what's known as an event boundary in the mind, separating one set of thoughts and memories from the next. Your brain files away the thoughts you had in the previous room and prepares a blank slate for the new locale.

Thank goodness for studies like this. It's not our age, it's the damn door!

I knew it couldn't be my fault.

Next time try opening the door first.

I don't buy it ... My shop is 1000 sq.ft. ... no doors ... i can walk across the room and forget why i was going there.

Baz I think you are safe to believe what Fred said, I read that these doors can be physical or pseudo!

Were these psychologists stoned?

Only the ones that committed adultery.

Stoned by marijuana, not rocks.

Hardly seems like a proper punishment for adultery.

Sorry, my original joke was asking if - these "psychologists" were high on marijuana(stoned ) when they discovered this...

I'm not at all sure your joke was original. Seems like I heard it somewhere before but I can't remember since I came into this room.

You need to stop thinking.

Fred was that the door into the room your computer is in, or the door to the forum

It was the one with the tiger behind it.

You better get your first cup of coffee that pug wasn't a tiger:ROFLMAO:

Symbolically or figuratively? And what does that have to do with adultery?

When I first saw the post I thought it was going to be about Ray Manzarek.
