Brain Power

No joking here, the brain is an incredible piece of equipment. Or organ. Whatever, it's a damned impressive thing, what with the way it recruits cells to do things that were broken via a stroke or traumatic brain injury or disease, or just the way it manages to keep us breathing and circulating blood all the time. Dilbert creator Scott Adams has his own example of just how impressive the brain can be. Check it out.

At the end, he asks people to comment with the happiest moments of their lives, which is very nice in a warm fuzzy sort of way. Interestingly, I have no idea what the happiest moment of my life is. That's not because my life is lacking in happiness. Far from it. It's just that I find I'm not good at picking out superlatives. It's hard to pick one "best" out of thousands of happy moments. Heck, I have a hard time calling to mind the moments that would even make the final cut. It's like my brain is giving me a busy signal when I try. But I'm thinking there are worse things one can spend his brain power on. So I'm going to think about that some this weekend. You have a good weekend, too.
