This is awesome:

Rooks Corroborate Aesop

And now from the realm of human psychology, proof that we who procrastinate do it because we're special: Abstract thinkers tend to put things off more! Really, it's a wonder anything gets done at Disney at all ...

From The Economist, the concrete version of events

From Newsweek, an abstract take on the experiment

I wonder who turned in their copy first ...

I used to work with a guy who, before animation, had done something in construction (drywalling?) and, he said, he went to the gym every night after work. Once he started working in animation, which requires one to sit still at a desk all day and think, he said he was so exhausted it's all he could do to haul his butt home. So it's not just you.
