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. Tsk, some women eh?

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.

The old Liam would burst out into song right about now, teaching us all about the mysterious ways of the human brain set to a charming yet slightly baudy melody.
The new Liam...I don't know, raps about computers or somesuch.
