May I Have Your Attention Please

The dwindling attention span of a human should bring us insight into what may be looming.. Recent studies reveal that it's eight seconds now. I'm struggling to finish this thought some how.. If one put a human brain on a petrie dish, I guess it's now equal to a goldfish.. Look it up on fact checker if you think it's a lie. You'll discover that nine seconds has a butterfly..

I first heard it on Funny you should ask while at the gym and then in James Patterson's autobiography recently. I was quite surprised and wonder how did they measure the butter fly? Lol..Haven't a clue about the dragonfly Jan.
