The first new phrase, brain dead will be used.

Try and keep it all alive…

“What’s my brain do?”

It keeps your head from caving in.

Causes your lips to move?

It takes up space in an otherwise empty area.

Ancient Greeks thaught it was a radiator !

Won’t get political here.

That seems like it could have been in the first year or two of the strip (not that there’s anything wrong with that!). But shouldn’t that have been Curls on the rock?

The brain cools your blood (on hot days).

That’s food for thought.

Like an old song lyric – “Put your brain on a razor blade and it’d look like a BB running down the center of a four lane highway…” and “Put your brain in a matchbox and it’d look like a BB rattlin’ around in a box car…”

Oh, GAWD, the temptation here is ENORMOUS! (Okay, okay, everybody have a GREAT DAY, Gritting my teeth and moving on. . .)

you get energy from your lungs? you get the oxygen from the air in your lungs, and place it in your blood. when you require energy, the part of the body (including the brain, or muscles, or whatever) uses the fuel in the blood (triglycerides, lard, sugar, whatever) and combines it with the oxygen also in the blood and converts it into energy at that moment. Yes, the brain converts the oxygen in the air, previously placed in there by the lungs into energy it can use, as well as any other part of the body

Ow. That response was way to fast.

Speaking of what the brain does, here’s the newest “what do you see” Internet craze:

I see the bird, but I can see the (mutant) rabbit, also…

I dunno what your brain does, but be quiet, I’m trying to read….

If the Jury doesn’t get back soon it could result in a mistrial.

That’s probably why the Egyptians discarded it during the mummification process

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.

I think it will recommend life.

Nice that they now can read and those books are manufactured for them to read. (Future post apocalypse time.)

It took millennia to figure out the function of the brain. The philosophers (like Peter) kept trying to deduce it by introspection, and came up empty.

It was the surgeons that finally started to work things out. In an age when many men conked each other on the head, the surgeons gradually learned to correlate brain damage with lost functions…
