    I wish my brain was a computer because I need a serious upgrade. I am currently running on PirateOS 1.5 and my hardware does not support PirateOS ADV 5.5.1 . It sucks. Damn proprietary systems... But seriously I never thought of the brain as exactly like a computer. It was just easier to explain its functions with a point of reference most people would have know about at the time.

      That reminds me, where the hell is that pill that makes your brain more "spongy" so that you can learn and process things like a child! Even if the side effects are forgetting old things, I would very much like to open up and start sponging up as much as I can!

        Imagine how much rum I could store in my brain if it was more spongy! I think I know what pill you are talking about but I cant remember the name (no joke intended). But it dealt with the brains "elasticity" which is reduced through age. It essentially causes a chemical (not sure off hand ??) change that returns the elasticity to that of a child. I will have to look it up again because I think there were stories on it 5 years ago.

          Hah, elasticity... that's what I meant to say, yet used "sponginess" instead!

          Definitely good to have a 2nd look and see if the technology has progressed any further.

            I totaly understood what you meant by sponginess though. So my brain somehow knows some sort of relation between spongy and elasticity. Not sure if thats good or bad though.

            Yeah,I can remember how easy it was to learn things as a kid and how time seemed to be slow as molasses. I want that back.

              Yeah, I guess at 6 years old having only experienced so little time the days felt so much longer and summers felt endless ! Ohh, those were the days, when the summers were long and the only responsibility was to wash up before bed!
