			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p>The mysterious ninety percent of our brains that we don&#8217;t use is not used because it is useless, a scientific panel announced this week. Said project leader Dr. Antoine Abalone of the panel&#8217;s findings: &#8220;After two years of round the clock scientific investigation, we have determined that we only use ten percent of our brain because the rest of it is a pile of junk.  I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it&#8217;s definitely just a functionless heap of gray matter.  I suppose one could postulate all sorts of theoretical adaptive purposes for so much worthless cranial filler &#8212; one might, for example, have a slightly better chance of surviving a brain-eating zombie attack where the essential elements represent only ten rather than a hundred percent of the total brain mass.  Whatever the explanation, we can all stop fantasizing about becoming a race of telepathic super beings &#8212; we&#8217;re at capacity now, folks.  Oh, there was a tiny flicker of activity in the unused portion when our test subjects were engaged in light summer reading, but otherwise squat.  Not exactly a champagne moment.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p>The mysterious ninety percent of our brains that we don&#8217;t use is not used because it is useless, a scientific panel announced this week. Said project leader Dr. Antoine Abalone of the panel&#8217;s findings: &#8220;After two years of round the clock scientific investigation, we have determined that we only use ten percent of our brain because the rest of it is a pile of junk.  I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it&#8217;s definitely just a functionless heap of gray matter.  I suppose one could postulate all sorts of theoretical adaptive purposes for so much worthless cranial filler &#8212; one might, for example, have a slightly better chance of surviving a brain-eating zombie attack where the essential elements represent only ten rather than a hundred percent of the total brain mass.  Whatever the explanation, we can all stop fantasizing about becoming a race of telepathic super beings &#8212; we&#8217;re at capacity now, folks.  Oh, there was a tiny flicker of activity in the unused portion when our test subjects were engaged in light summer reading, but otherwise squat.  Not exactly a champagne moment.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p>The mysterious ninety percent of our brains that we don&#8217;t use is not used because it is useless, a scientific panel announced this week. Said project leader Dr. Antoine Abalone of the panel&#8217;s findings: &#8220;After two years of round the clock scientific investigation, we have determined that we only use ten percent of our brain because the rest of it is a pile of junk.  I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it&#8217;s definitely just a functionless heap of gray matter.  I suppose one could postulate all sorts of theoretical adaptive purposes for so much worthless cranial filler &#8212; one might, for example, have a slightly better chance of surviving a brain-eating zombie attack where the essential elements represent only ten rather than a hundred percent of the total brain mass.  Whatever the explanation, we can all stop fantasizing about becoming a race of telepathic super beings &#8212; we&#8217;re at capacity now, folks.  Oh, there was a tiny flicker of activity in the unused portion when our test subjects were engaged in light summer reading, but otherwise squat.  Not exactly a champagne moment.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p>The mysterious ninety percent of our brains that we don&#8217;t use is not used because it is useless, a scientific panel announced this week. Said project leader Dr. Antoine Abalone of the panel&#8217;s findings: &#8220;After two years of round the clock scientific investigation, we have determined that we only use ten percent of our brain because the rest of it is a pile of junk.  I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it&#8217;s definitely just a functionless heap of gray matter.  I suppose one could postulate all sorts of theoretical adaptive purposes for so much worthless cranial filler &#8212; one might, for example, have a slightly better chance of surviving a brain-eating zombie attack where the essential elements represent only ten rather than a hundred percent of the total brain mass.  Whatever the explanation, we can all stop fantasizing about becoming a race of telepathic super beings &#8212; we&#8217;re at capacity now, folks.  Oh, there was a tiny flicker of activity in the unused portion when our test subjects were engaged in light summer reading, but otherwise squat.  Not exactly a champagne moment.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p>The mysterious ninety percent of our brains that we don&#8217;t use is not used because it is useless, a scientific panel announced this week. Said project leader Dr. Antoine Abalone of the panel&#8217;s findings: &#8220;After two years of round the clock scientific investigation, we have determined that we only use ten percent of our brain because the rest of it is a pile of junk.  I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it&#8217;s definitely just a functionless heap of gray matter.  I suppose one could postulate all sorts of theoretical adaptive purposes for so much worthless cranial filler &#8212; one might, for example, have a slightly better chance of surviving a brain-eating zombie attack where the essential elements represent only ten rather than a hundred percent of the total brain mass.  Whatever the explanation, we can all stop fantasizing about becoming a race of telepathic super beings &#8212; we&#8217;re at capacity now, folks.  Oh, there was a tiny flicker of activity in the unused portion when our test subjects were engaged in light summer reading, but otherwise squat.  Not exactly a champagne moment.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p>The mysterious ninety percent of our brains that we don&#8217;t use is not used because it is useless, a scientific panel announced this week. Said project leader Dr. Antoine Abalone of the panel&#8217;s findings: &#8220;After two years of round the clock scientific investigation, we have determined that we only use ten percent of our brain because the rest of it is a pile of junk.  I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it&#8217;s definitely just a functionless heap of gray matter.  I suppose one could postulate all sorts of theoretical adaptive purposes for so much worthless cranial filler &#8212; one might, for example, have a slightly better chance of surviving a brain-eating zombie attack where the essential elements represent only ten rather than a hundred percent of the total brain mass.  Whatever the explanation, we can all stop fantasizing about becoming a race of telepathic super beings &#8212; we&#8217;re at capacity now, folks.  Oh, there was a tiny flicker of activity in the unused portion when our test subjects were engaged in light summer reading, but otherwise squat.  Not exactly a champagne moment.&#8221;</p>
