In 1861, to the north-east of Teneriffe, the crew of the despatch boat Alector perceived a monstrous cuttlefish swimming in the waters. Captain Bouguer went near to the animal, and attacked it with harpoons and guns, without much success, for balls and harpoons glided over the soft flesh. After several fruitless attempts, the crew tried to pass a slip-knot round the body of the mollusk. The noose slipped as far as the caudal fins, there stopped. They tried then to haul it on board, but its weight was so considerable that the tightness of the cord separated the tail from the body, and, deprived of this ornament, he disappeared under the water.

The brain consumes about 20-30% of the body&#39;s energy (this means it uses about 20-30% of the calories you eat). If you want to lose weight you have to think harder.

The brain is more complicated than any computer we can imagine. The world&#39;s most sophisticated computer is currently only as complicated as a rat&#39;s brain.

Magic.. Power... Some of it is "real".
Researchers are studying the existence of ESP (Extra Sensory Perception). Only an extremely low percentage of the world population holds these powers such as Mind Reading, Telepathy, etc. (most of these people have very weak versions and dont seem to have good control)
