Did anybody watch “The Ingenious Brain” last night? I was fascinated by the stories of savants, who had incredible brainpower/function.

If I would have known about it I probably would have watched it but, alas. I have seen other shows about "idiot" savants and I'm just awestruck at what our brains are capable of. I've heard it said we only use about 10% of our brain function so one has to wonder just what all that excess capacity is for. That may or may not be true but still in all it might indicate God is trying to tell us something, or maybe that He has a sense of humor; or both. ;^)
