    There really is a “Mental Floss” web site and a magazine.

    I use red wine and think of it a “brain wash”

    My dentist used a combination of hypnosis and Novocaine. He called it “Trance and Dental Medication”.

    Snopes pretty much puts that old canard to rest. How about this? And if that’s not enough, there’s all of these search results.As Snopes said, “What part don’t you use?”

    I’d agree with runar. Consider this: brain cells are incredibly “expensive” to run—“Although the brain represents only 2% of the body weight, it receives 15% of the cardiac output, 20% of total body oxygen consumption, and 25% of total body glucose utilization.” (http://www.acnp.org/g4/gn401000064/ch064.html) More, these supplies cannot be interrupted for long at all without the brain cells dying.

    .

    If we did only use 10%, we would be a lot more efficient if we just got rid of 80 or 90%, and we’d lose nothing important.

    My mental floss is prayer and Bible reading every day.
