and in another woman 1 single brian cell reacts to halle berry, and it seems that these cells react to the concept the abstract entety of halle berry, including a drawing of her face and an image of just the words of her name.

"Why your brain has a ‘Jennifer Aniston cell"

Is there any way to get this thing removed? Philboid, what do you recommend for killing Jennifer Aniston cells? :)

Quantifying human thought. Very important, indeed.

Wonder if there's a God neuron and how it behaves in people of varying religiousness.

There's been some research into brain activity and religious experiences. From The Science of Good and Evil:

"[Researchers] Andrew Newberg and Eugene D'Aquili found that when Buddhist monks meditate and Franciscan nuns pray, their brain scans indicate strikingly low activity in the posterior superior parietal lobe, a region of the brain the authors have dubbed the orientation association area (OAA), which orients the body in physical space (people with damage to this area have a difficult time negotiating their way around a house). When the OAA is booted up and running smoothly there is a sharp distinction between self and nonself. When OAA is in sleep mode--as in deep meditation and prayer--that division breaks down, leading to a blurring of the lines between reality and fantasy, between feeling in body and out of body."

Well according to the article, we only have a 'Jen cell' if we watched the show "Freinds" alot, but if we didn't watch the show or were not exposed to her as much, then we wouldn't have developed a 'Jen cell'.

So half my brain must be Kelly Clarksonized, man she is a good looking girl, MOD ON!!! She has sexy spinal curves, and an equally sexy complementary apposing ass curve. Basically her ass curves out and her lower back arches or curves in. Very sexy curves, that why the ass looks so good because of the spinal curves.

During a photoshoot I would tell a playmate, "arch your back make your butt stick out".

Being that Philboid is in the Holy Land on vacation, I'll answer for him: The Screaming Blue Ants, what else? In moderation, of course. :)
