My Brain

Pheebs · 24-03-2008, 20:29

Yester-easter-sun-of-day we were tootling down to Cornwall to see Pickys Parents for a nomtastic lunch.

Now normally on journeys I tend to sing most of the way or just chat about stuff.

However... it wasn't so yesterday.

After about half an hour in the car..

Picky: "You're quiet"

Me: "Eh?"
My Brain: "Uh nuh. You've spent a whole 30mins thinking about this. How silly will it sound if you tell him what you're thinking. Don't tell him what you're thinking, he'll just call you dumb."
Me: "Oh yeh. I am a bit I guess. Just thinking."

Picky: "Yeh? What about"

Me: "Not a lot"

Picky: "Yeh?" *smiles in a "You're silly" way*

Me: *blank look*
My Brain: "Oh just tell him. He might think you're upset or something if you don't tell him."
Me: "Ok. Well..... My Brains squishy. It's just all goo and squishyness and yet... I can think with it thoughts like this. I didn't want to tell you cos I thought you'd think I was dumb for sitting there thinking about my brain being squishy."

Picky: "Hahaha, you idiot!"

Me: "SEE!"
My Brain: *sigh* "No one understands us."

But seriously... think about it people... your brain is just the mush and gooey bits all held together in a lump. And yet you can think thoughts with it and things.

Isn't that just slightly weird? I was a bit overwhelmed by it tbh... well so overwhelmed it rendered me silent for half an hour (rare this unless I'm sleeping) Made my brain ache when thinking about it cos I was thinking about my squishy brain thinking and how it could think what I was thinking... yet I was thinking.

See. Brain hurts now.

Picky thinks I'm silly for this. So I wanted to see whether there was anyone else who thinks it's all a bit crazy - squishy brains and all. Kinda magical it all works isn't it?

Pheebs is the most mentalist funniest person I've ever encountered on teh intarweb.

Pheebs, you're ace.

Squishy indeed.

Feek · 24-03-2008, 20:38

It's incredible. I was at a museum (wish I could remember which one it was) and there was a human brain on display. A real one, with small bits sliced off where tests had been done on it after death and I stood there for ages just looking at it, absolutely amazed by this grey blob in front of me.

Thank you Feek! You get me!

It's so weird! It's just... a wibberly lump... that thinks!

Tis amazing.

(and not a lot of chocolate but much more than normal

)

*waits for the moment they think about their brain thinking about their brain*

Oh, and it could be worse!

And another thing, you were thinking about brains? Isn't that a sign of zombieness?

omg omg omg - have you ever seen an MR scan of a brain - its AMAZING!
the department i work in is introducing planning using CT / MRI fusions, and it's incredible the detail you can see! it's more than a lump of mush - i promise!

i like my intestines, they're just so clever, they don't have all the thinky bits that the brain does, but they know just what to do with the foods. i am also a fan of the spine - the way the bones fit together is just sooooo neat - it's like a long, fancy 3d jigsaw

I get a bit weird when I think about the insides of us.

It really freaks me out to think that everyone's got a skull inside their head... I look like that under the pink stuff on the outside.

AAAAAARGH I DON'T LIKE IT I DON'T WANT TO BE A SKELETON I WANT TO BE A PERSON
