"I wish my name was Brian..

because sometimes people would misspell my name and call me Brain. That's like a free compliment and you don't even gotta be smart to notice it."
-Mitch Hedberg

So for my last and final blog for the week I've decided to do something a little different. If you read my last entry, you'll know that I have a super big AP Psyche test that I'm most likely going to, *cough* fail *cough*, do well on.
So to do even better on this test I thought I'd give a little description about our human brain in laymen's terms, so even the simplest of you out there can easily understand it.

Our brain is pretty gosh darn complicated, ya know? It's got a whole lotta whats-its and it can be a real doozy tryin to figure out what each one of 'em does.
So let's start with the basics. The brain is located in our heads. It's gray and wrinkly, and contrary to what CSI has led you to believe it is NOT firm, it's actually real mushy and if you were to cut our head open and try to take it out it would just ooze right outta your hands, and yeah...
Now, let's get a little more in depth. So we've got this little trinket that's called the pons. It controls arousal (hehehehehe). It's location is smack dab at the top of the brain stem. Our brain stem is kinda like a stem for flowers such as the genies species, "Daisy". When we drink and eat our food and drink goes to our stomach, which then travels up the spinal cord (which is like the roots of the flower), and it is carried by our brain stem to our brain, and the nutrients of whatever you just ate are then absorbed into the brain to make us smarter.
The vitamins and minerals from carrots go to our occipital lobe, which controls SIGHT, so we can have better eye sight. You'd think that it'd be at the front of the brain, since our eyes aren't in the backs of our heads (except if you're a teacher, but they're not like the rest of us humans), but I think our biology teachers just wanted to confuse us even furthur and stuck 'em in the back.

I think that brief overview has now familarized you with the going ons of our brain, the control port for our body. And I think I shall now march into Melone's class tomorrow with the termination and swagger of somebody who knows their going to get at least an A+, if not better.
