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?

Wouldn't that mean 90% of our brains are vestigal? *L*

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!

Due to lack of sleep right now, only 2% of my brain is presently functional. And here I am starting a new work day.

I use 100% of my brain.

And 50% of his brain, and 30% of her brain, and 75% of this brain I keep in a jar here...

I use (log (pi))(7e(ln(2^16)))% of my brain.

That's all, Frank? I normally function with at least ((log 7)(e^(pi)))/(.001�)% at a time.

Hmmm...made a mistake... though there was an e^ in there, thereby canceling out the ln

so when I calculated yours, it was much higher than 19,000 too
