Looking at pictures of baby animals can improve cubing?

[Eazoon]

I found this article online that suggests that looking at pictures of baby animals can improve performance: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2210614/The-power-cute-How-looking-pictures-baby-animals-help-improve-concentration-levels.html?ito=feeds-newsxml

I tried it myself and I saw a tiny difference, but I'm not sure if it's anything because it was only half a second faster (I only did two averages of twelve).

"I tried it myself and I saw a little improvement" Have you ever heard of the power of suggestion?

Probably a similar effect that his signature has.

Ya know how people always have a cube with them during a comp and they do a few turns to warm up right before their solve? Now, cubers will be carrying kittens to set on their stack mat.

That must be why he's so fast!
He looks at cute animals before solving!

I knew it. Without, I bet he has a 20 second average.

I think I'm gonna start doing this.

Not because it probably makes me faster, but because it doesn't hurt to try :3

I can't click the link, it's the Daily Mail.
Firstly no single study/paper has ever proved anything... take what you read with a grain of salt.
Secondly, the Daily Mails science coverage is WAA OMG PLEASE STOP!!!!! - so the amount of salt you should take a DM article with is seriously dangerous to your diet.

The dailymail also claim that sun tan lotion, toothpaste, deoderant, facebook and a load of other things cause cancer.

 

[uberCuber]

Facebook does cause cancer, what are you talking about

 

[qqwref]

I'm not sure what people are complaining about the Daily Mail for. This is a research paper article, isn't it? So why not just go look for the paper?
