"charlie bit my finger" and "throwing obama at ..." help your office productivity

from wired.com: a theory that i've always had about internet surfing at work has proven to help productivity. the University of Melbourne science people believe that those who surf the internet at work for personal reasons are 9% more productive than those who are busy polishing their apples. essentially, brain tired. need break. skateboarding dogs and status updates help you destress and shut down for a couple minutes. brain likey.

this theory excludes those with internet addiction (and, probably doesn't measure mobile internet use at work, either). :)
