So how about BootCamp for the Human Mind?
Aug. 21st, 2006 03:49 pmThe brain boots up like a computer.
The thalamus, long though to be a primitive hunk of junk just chillin' deep in the ol' grey matter, is actually the brain's boot-loader--a sort of kernel/BIOS that boots up other pieces of neural hardware with (wait for it...wait for it...) little puffs of nitrous oxide!
So...does that mean I should keep a handful of whippits by my bedside instead of a coffee maker? 'Cause if I can just huff a can of whipped cream and boot right into PegritzOS in under 25 seconds, I'm there.
