It is always exciting when I log into my email account. Up flashes an obscure Yahoo news headline guaranteed to distract me from work and set me off thinking. I should be grateful. Why fork out for a brain training programme when such headlines provoke so much brain activity?
Take today's brain gym session:
Disney sensation MILEY CYRUS is officially the wealthiest child in the world - she is reportedly set to be a billionaire by the year's end.
Who? What can she possibly do to earn that much? How come I have never heard of her before? Is it a spoof headline for an anagram competition? Is it the winning entry in the 'sheer awfulness of rich people when it comes to naming their child' competition? What will she do with all that momey? How will she ever know if someone loves her for herself, not her bank account? Do I care?
And at that point, my brain went into overdrive and shut down with a rude message.
