It's a 'common' accepted fact that a 'normal, functioning' human, only uses 10% of their brain to live/function/etc.

Yes, it's a commonly repeated myth. Not that this has any bearing whatsoever on the ongoing Schiavo tragedy, but you might be interested in this link:

WOW. Boy do I feel stupid. For years and years, I remember being taught that 'we' only utilize that 10% of our brains. LOL...they even taught that in my nursing school.

NOT trying to argue with ya/discredit ya.

I WILL be looking at your link later. I don't mind learning new things or stuff that isn't what I was taught.

Right now, I'm taking a 'break' from getting our oldest girl, 'in gear' for a flight out to a fellow FReeper. And the child is soooo wound up about this new experience, she's 'irritating' me. (sigh)
