Poll: Do you believe fluorescent lighting destroys gray matter?

Question

OK...this is for all the cube rats out there. Do you think the fluorescent lighting you have to work under is affecting your mind? Specifically, affecting your ability to read or do the simplest of tasks? Such as:

"I can't open the door..."

"Someone stole my car stereo, 'cuz I left my car unlocked and the window down..."

Bin marked "Confidential Company Scrap Only", but you still put your old bank books, snotrags, birthday cards, WalMart receipts, last year's Hooter's calendars, candy wrappers, etc. in it

Parking in someone else's reserved parking spot

Bringing a camera/letting visitors take pictures against company policy

I'm talking about the everyday, ordinary cubicle hamster, not managers (since we all know they're brainless anyway, and have some poor schlub do their dirty work for them). I mean, how hard can it be to put a piece of plastic in a recepticle marked "For Plastics Only" that's 18" away from the one used for paper only?

Just wonderin'...

Answer 1

Certainly you're on to something big ... I bet it's a huge corporate secrete buying out governments throughout the world to destroy the gray matter.

Have you ever put on socks that don't match ... or shoes that don't' match ... That door thing you're talking about, yeah ... I'm now addicted to using that big blue button with the stick person in the wheel chair to open the door. ... This is getting spooky.

Gosh, I hope we're safe ... this is on the internet and they may now come after you and me since we know the truth ... quick ... run to that mountain from"Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (True Headquarters of the Gray Matter Destroyers), and we'll find a way to keep our gray matter.

Answer 2

all I've heard about flourescent lights are that they emit UV rays and cause problems (as do pc monitor screens) for people with epilepsy and can cause seizures because of the cycling on and off of the light. So in answer to your question of does flourescent light affect your mind. Yes, some people are affected.

Answer 3

Nah it doesn't In India its pretty much the only lighting used and Indians seem alot more brighter and better in school than many who live here in the States. (Ive visited there so its not just the ones here)
