@jack-dodds the independent brain cells tell me what to search for.  Hah!  LoL

You have independent brain cells Frank?  That sounds kinda disorganized...like....are they just ping-pinging around in there willy nilly?  Mine (and I have dozens, believe me) are dependent on my meds, so my thoughts are...like...one at a time and not so quick, which is safer for me and others so I'm told.

A most impressive idea. Let me be the first to offer some background!

@jkuvakas Wow....I'm floored by your background Woody; is that milled from your family tree?

This family background pic was taken when Graeme came a'callin' to interview me for his book.  It's a family favorite....I think my sister Eunice-Luanne (2nd from right) was a bit agog for him; what with him hailing from the GMT and all!

I hope not, for his sake. In this part of the world at least, "as thick as two short planks" means "extremely dim-witted", So if one extrapolates logically from that starting point . . .

wood

Hmm.

Have no concerns for my intellect. From early on, I was considered a genius. As a matter of fact, my fifth-grade teacher said, "I can't seem to teach you anything. You already know it all, don't you?"

Ah, yes. And so many of us spend our whole lives trying to defy the predictions of our early mentors.

Yeah but JK's are lying horizontal so they're longer.

Is there some analogy there with the way he cuts his sandwiches to increase the apparent content? Both arguments equally dubious, I suspect.

@jkuvakas

But this enormous animal had a brain that was only slightly larger than a walnut. 

One early paleontologist believed that Stegosaurus had a second brain in its tail because the expert noticed a cavity like those where the brain would be in its rump. But that’s a busted myth—the empty space likely held a mass of tissue that might have helped produce extra energy or was simply a fluid-filled gland

Frank;  Your post brings up several thoughts.  Not to be critical but a dinosaur's walnut is considerably larger than a human's sooo.....???  Secondly, could the brain in the tail be the source of the comment "He has his head in his a_s"?  Lastly....why do you know this stuff?

 

That's what I'd like to know too...

Did the note from said teacher to your Mom & Dad ever make it into their hands ?

The proprietor of this restaurant may be interested in displaying an appropriately colored small scale version of a '59 Chevy. 

He's interested in the purchase price.

He feels that its display may encourage diners to increase their appetite thus spending more $.

It will certainly induce the customers to be in and out quickly; good for the old seat rotation $$.
