How Good Are People at Counting?

[John Iacoletti]

Inattentional blindness possibilities

Because a gorilla walking through a basketball game with intentionally distracted viewers is nothing like a bag on the floor of a crime scene where law enforcement officers are specifically examining the scene for evidence.

[Bill Chapman]

Not that I know of....

Thanks, that's why some law enforcement officers might have overlooked a brown paper bag.

LOL.  Nowhere in that video does McDonald even say that Oswald tried to shoot a cop in the theater.

Did we watch the same video?

LOL.

That would be a clever response, if it was 1998.

Maybe you can tell us why the majority of members treat this like a hobby, an example as shown in your link, yet Iccy's times clearly reflect a job which is 8 hours a day Monday to Friday?

No way. You are not dragging me into your obsession and/or diversion.
