re: Do you ever think about the power of your brain?

Bill Bryson has a new book about the human body. He said this about the brain in a recent interview in the Wa Post:

quote:

The brain is the most extraordinary thing in the universe, and, again, all the more extraordinary when you think back that it’s made of 75 percent to 80 percent water, and the rest is just mostly fats and proteins. Yet look what it can do. Imagine getting all the premier scientists in the world together and giving them all the components that are in your brain, like giving them a couple liters of water and some fats and proteins, and asking them to make something that functions. They couldn’t make anything at all. Your mom made your brain in nine months without even thinking about it.
