Do we really use only 10% of our brains? I think I use more than that, and so do the Urban Legends Reference Pages: [url]http://www.snopes.com/spoons/fracture/10percnt.htm [/url]See? --Baloo ------------------ "Against stupidity the very gods Themselves contend in vain." --FRIEDRICH VON SCHILLER Come Hither and Yawn...

Well, I use more than 20% of my brain, and I can prove it. I read the article and know that using only 10-20% of the brain is BS. Some people apparently didn't read the article.Tsk, tsk!  ------------------ "Against stupidity the very gods Themselves contend in vain." --FRIEDRICH VON SCHILLER Come Hither and Yawn...

That's all, Frank? I normally function with at least ((log 7)(e^(pi)))/(.001�)% at a time.------------------ "I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying." Woody Allen

Hmmm...made a mistake... though there was an e^ in there, thereby canceling out the lnso when I calculated yours, it was much higher than 19,000 too ------------------ "I don't want to achieve immortality through my work.

I'm sure that was in either Roald Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected, or Switch Bitch. about a woman who kept her husband's brain alive in a jar. With an eye attached. And then smoked in his direction.

I thought I was sharing Core/Deep6's brain. But it could be Cureboy.

Well i finaly read the article it just does not sound right.I believe that most humans use about 40 to 50% of their brain at one time, this is primarily for consious thought and sub-consious. And the other half is used to maintain the body. Becuase if some one were to consiously use all 100% it could possibly cause a synaptic overload seriously damaging or killing the person. Or at least thats my theory. It sounds a alot more plausible than the 10% theory. ------------------ I am not responsible for the stupidity of other people.
