My brain is bigger than yours. Yeah, it is. Don't get pissed or anything. I'm not saying I'm smarter, I'm saying I physically have more greymatter. Its so big, it actually is not fully contained by my skull. Can you imagine? Hm, let's see...shouldn't I be brilliant? What good is a huge brain when you are only slightly above average in smarts?
Yeah, imagine what happens when you make that discovery? Doctor diagnosis: you have a Chiari Malformation. A What? Pardon? Whad'ya say? Then he simplified it for me(in only slightly above average terms)..."your cerebellum is abnormally large and it petrudes below the...blah blah blah"...oh, ok. Wha? Shit, I didn't pay attention in biology. I've got to find out what the freak a cerebellum is. Now, my slightly above average brain can remember that it's (cerebellum) is part of the brain but I couldn't remember which part. Ok, bottom part, check. Now I'm thinking back to the bio days of that skeleton "Joe" in our class....hmmmmm, not much room for a brain to stick out. I'm in trouble. Maybe that means I truly should be smarter...but can't be brilliant because it's being held back and squished in there so the density is higher so it keeps the synapsis from firing the right way(hah! see, I DO remember something from Bio).
So, I got the news....then spent the afternoon trying to crush things with telekinnetics(yep, I did, no lie, ask my husband) I first started with a garbage can, hm, maybe too big? Well, maybe I should scale it down to a pepsi can. Hmpf, didn't work. Ok, crushing isn't my game. That's ok, maybe I can fly? That afternoon I tried to fly...yeah, fly. I didn't jump off a bridge or anything, but it didn't work. Then I thought about making things catch on fire...if I could just think it..wouldn't it happen? "fire, fire, fire, poof, whompf, fire....Hm..nope. Yeah, I tried everything I could think of...don't even think you wouldn't have if you got that news delivered from a Neuro surgeon.
So now I ask you...What good is a mutant brain without superpowers? jees. ;o)
