I think your brian might be malfunctioning.
At least Biggus Dickus seems to be working fine
I automatically read Brain as Brian
Yep, me too.. I was wondering why Obama was being called Brian twice.
I would absolutely not vote brain. That thing is the cause of 99% of my suffering.
Same
Get that thing out of there
I wonder what the direction of causality between these two sentences is.
It hurt my brain to consider what you are implying.
I think brain has an unfair advantage.
That’s just brain guilt talking
instead of urethra if there was penis results would have been a lot different
The left side of the brain controls the right side of the body. It also controls language. There's a theory that that's why the words for the left hand (and left in general) are usually associated with evil ("sinister" in Latin means "left", for example), while words for the right are associated with good ("dextrous" comes from the Latin "dexter", meaning "right side"). The left side of the brain might be literally disparaging the side of the body it doesn't control, while praising the one it does.
Anyway, I vote for sphincter.
Brain gotta poop.
Someone knows their ancient Latin proverbs.
Brain still gotta poop.
A sphincter is not an organ. Muscle is tissue.
Then why does mine sound like an organ sometimes?
Isn't that left brain/right brain stuff pseudoscience?
Yes and no: different parts of the brain DO have different functionality and the language center IS in the left half, but you'd need your whole brain to demonize body parts since a lot more than just language would be involved in the reasoning, the decision, the planning and the execution..
Minor correction. Features like the language center are shared between both hemispheres, it's just that typically the left side is more developed.
Though, with the plasticity of the brain, it isn't necessarily always the case. Brains are very capable of rewiring themselves. If it's easier to (re)develop language on the right side, due to left side trauma, that's entirely possible.
In general the left brain does language. It's been proven by observing people who had their hemispheres separated. The whole story about the left brain calling the left side of the body names is pretty speculative though.
It's also true that we tend to exaggerate the whole left/right brain thing in popular culture. The idea of left or right-brained personalities is one example of a pretty inaccurate characterization of how the brain works. But there are very real differences between the hemispheres.
All of that is just based mostly on recent interviews with brain scientists I've listened to, I'm not an expert!
Forget left and right brain.
You're either all brain or no brain.
For me, no brain.
I voted with my heart.
My heart voted "Brain".
My brain votes spleen.
There's a few who thought the urethra is the best.
Gotta hand it to them. Guess they went through something... making them feel like this
My brain read that as Brian
Ever seen the Life of Brian? Great movie
I've seen the life of pi
So many important organs are missing from the list. I say none of the above
Also pretty sure urethra isn't a fucking organ unless they meant genitals.
Yeah for real
Losing most of them would kill me
Losing my brain would keep me from knowing
Heart that would suck quick and be over
Skin would be slow and painful....
An old Emo Philips joke.. At least that's the first place I heard it back in the 80s.
Idk, I prefer B3 with Leslie
