I used to have a human brain.  But I traded it for something.  I forgot what.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I was totally born in the wrong body.  I mean, take the brain just for starters.

I don't know what that means.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

You may remember my pent-up frustration at ALL THOMAS ALL THE TIME that made me lash out by writing a Thomas episode set during the Nazi holocaust ...  ;)

Sorry for digging out this old reference, but ....

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

:lol: A note from 2012!

You must have a memory like an elephant.

But an awesome reference.

It was the only reference I could find to the memorable story. I would have much preferred to dig up the original post. :D Did you ever tell your son of the story?

I did, when he was older.  :D

Only to have him use it, unknown to me, in an English assignment this year ... which he has had no mark on. Yet.
