Riddle Sideways: And the Nobel prize people have pointed out we have only been studying half the brain's parts
Agatha Macbeth: What's wrong with the other half?
Riddle Sideways: not in our right mind
Agatha Macbeth knows the feeling
Riddle Sideways: long studies on neurons, but the other stuff was just magic
SableHunt Resident: I suspect some people are still grappling with successfully using the first half—or so it seems.
Agatha Macbeth: 'If you've got half a mind that's all it takes'
Riddle Sideways: also a Nobel prize to the people that found out about the 'magic' inside RNA
Agatha Macbeth: Not to be confused with the NRA
   --BELL--
Riddle Sideways: Don't get started on how few brains NRA has
Riddle Sideways: Like that there is recognition to researching who boldly go where none have gone
