French doctors are amazed that a 44-year-old civil servant with an abnormally small brain has led a normal life with a slightly lower than normal IQ........

Doctors said the father of two went to the Hopital de la Timone in Marseille with mild weakness in his left leg. He was given a CT scan and an MRI, which showed that his cerebral cavities or ventricles had massively expanded..........

"The brain itself, meaning the grey matter and white matter, was completely crushed against the sides of the skull," ....... "The images were most unusual... the brain was virtually absent."

Man with no brain:

Terri Schiavo:

44-year-old civil servant with an abnormally small brain

Talk about an environment ripe for jokes.

[gov_bean_ counter]

I see this one getting ugly in a hurry.

[ClearCase_guy]

Led a normal life?? He almost became president in 2000!!

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

Interesting....

Are the neurons in his small brain very dense (in other words, are the numbers of neurons in his brain close to normal)?

[theDentist]

Who is this mystery man?

Insert name of Democrat of choice.

[A CA Guy]

I hope the guy continues to have a good life.
What an unusual situation.

Have you been talking to my wife?

[Dr. Frank fan]

Yes, people were SO sure that they could tell Schiavo's personhood by looking at the size of her brain. They were being scientific doing this.

civil servant....................okay, I’ll buy that.....

Why are they amazed?

Everyone knows you don't need a brain to work for the government.

[samtheman]

Normal life? Are they kidding? He's Senate Majority Leader!

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Let's hear it for...Mr. Albert Gore!!!!

[1035rep]

Ok, I’ll start......Harry Reid.

[1rudeboy]

I hope the guy continues to have a good life.

I'll wager he's happier than the rest of us with brains.

[tcostell]

I couldn’t agree more. The next American class war will be between those getting from the government and those funding it. Guess which side I think the “civil servants” will be on:

Anyone running for public office ought to be required to publish a brain scan.

[hobbes1]

Oh geez...I thought this was a story about Harry Reid.

I wouldn't say that being the U.S. Senate Majority Leader is a "normal" life.

Wait, this story ISN'T about Harry Reid?!
