Something else spotted on BoingBoing:

As reported in the Online Journalism Review, Dr. Jakob Nielsen, a web-usability consultant, did a fascinating study that tracked people's vision as they looked at web pages. The study revealed that men tend to stare at crotches.

The study further revealed we men stare at not just human crotches, but even animal crotches. And I have to admit, if you put the letter "Y" in front of me, I'm staring at that part where the lines meet up.

Equally fascinating was a study done by two Norwegian researchers (also spotted on BoingBoing) that tracked the vision of artists vs. non-artists.

The left side of this photo looks like a serial killer scratched out someone's face with a crayon, but the yellow marks represent people's glance-lines. And yep, non-artist on the left, artist on the right. I guess we creative types tend to take in the whole (at least when there aren't any crotches around).
