It seems dogs have about 530 million neurons calculating their behavior, as opposed to 250 million in cats.

Scientific studies have shown that liberals have a maximum recorded number of 10 sparking neurons. Mean is 3 and median is 2.

Conservatives, on the other hand, have millions.

Independents vary greatly, but most are around 100.
