Oh Thanks for bringing that link here Robert. It seems Richard didn't notice that his had expired.


Yes, they were talking about the brain myth on tv a few years ago and they showed how all the brain functioned by using different colours. Most parts of the brain lit up when they applied a test to a specific area. I'm thinking it was the MRI machine.

Say what? Square-cube law? Is that another myth like the square-root? They almost had me fooled on that one. j/k I've never heard of the square-cube law. But I'll take your word for it.
