Sorry about that! I meant to imply that they are basically the same. The 'or' is part of my idiocyncratic semantics. Anyway...I also wonder: have we figure out how is it that we can remember/know something, but not have to consciously think about it all the time? I think that's what I was really getting at with the whole "storage" idea. Which gets back at consciousness itself, I suppose...Do some scientists assume/believe that simply the complexity of the system (brain) creates consciousness? And I always wondered why the "correlation, not causation" argument wasn't automatically assumed until causation was actually "proven"...that idea makes much more sense to me than the reverse...

Very most favorite? Wonder Woman...I always wanted to be her when I was a kid...I also like Electra and Lady Death. All of them are terrifically cheezy and melodramatic. It's wonderful! *lol*

Those posts ARE rather hilarious in their own special way, though... <insert maniacal laughter here>

Doesn't x have to be 0? I can't see it working any other way...oh wait, nevermind...it can't be zero. ...by the way, where was this equation found? I mean, besides the thread that can't be found...

Wow, Those websites are awesome!! Thanks for finding and posting them! I work in a writing center and we are always looking for good resources on different types of writing and I must say that we are sadly lacking good internet-writing resources. And if any of you are interested in reading an actual book (*lol*) about good writing I highly recommend Style: Ten Lessons in Clarity and Grace by Josph M. Williams. It's all about writing clearly and concisely.

I do believe that the current idea of brain use is that we do indeed use all of it, just not all of it at once. Also, because of current technological and ethical limitations, we cannot actually measure how much of the brain ever does get used. Also, I read an article (can't remember where at the moment) about how death is an evolutionary advantage for a species that reproduces sexually (as opposed to asexually) because it promotes genetic diversity and therefore better ability for the species to survive.

I like it! I don't know much about those theories (except that the poles switch), but it's an interesting idea! I'm interested to see if there are any things that support or contradict this idea of your!
