Looking at naked pictures makes you smarter

Waiting for the "I must be a genius" jokes....

In that case animals should be smarter than humans!

My thought is that perhaps looking at nudes isn't necessarily helpful to the brain function due to sexual titillation but perhaps due to putting the mind more in touch with reality. (Not sure I'm up to explaining what I mean if that doesn't make sense on the face of it.)

(Also: Sorry to the critics, but I've upvoted this. I see no reason why this has to be a mind-in-the-gutter topic.)

Ridiculous, inappropriate.

Why is it inappropriate?

We're wired to be attracted to certain attributes for certain evolutionary purposes...

It is not about how we are wired by evolution. It is about whether or not, according to the guidelines http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html this is an acceptable article. I say that it is not. The article is fluff, does not reference any actual scientific research. It says only "Scientists have discovered . . ."

I have flagged this article.

The guidelines are suggestions. Not hard rules. But it's your prerogative.
