People are always telling me that they believe that humans are using only 10% of their brains and that if they can only unlock the dormant 90%, they could accomplish amazing feats such as mind reading, telekinesis, making their homework do itself and even thinking logically! This 10% urban legend has been around for some time and I personally do not think I am using less than half my brain but I am not so sure about a lot of people.
Let's forget for a moment that most experts with any credibility do not support the 10% claim and assume that 90% of the human brain has no known function. Isn't it strange that just because people don't know what that body part does, they can assume it possesses miraculous ability waiting to be unlocked? Why hasn't anyone propose that the source of ESP comes from the appendix, a part of the anatomy whose function is still debatable? How else can you explain why most so-called psychics have not yet have their appendices removed?
Then some guy, whom Mingde has probably been constantly irritating with his arguments, will come along and point out that since the brain is the organ related to thought, it is reasonable to assume that psychic abilities would come from the brain. Why of course! Mind reading comes from the brain! But since the appendix is so near the caecum, which digests cellulose, it must have the hidden ability to psychically digest cellulose for other people! Think of the wonders we can perform if we can only unlock the secrets of the appendix. We would be able to psychically break down the cellulose in the bodies of people with indigestion!
