Next Supreme Court appointee?

She’d make a good liberal; they only have 1/2 of a brain.

[GOPJ]

Great engineer - safe redundant systems...

[GregB]

God is Great!!!!!

[clamper1797]

I won’t say it ... I won’t say it

[NoobRep]

Well I wouldn’t say Nancy Pelosi has exactly lived a normal life...

[cripplecreek]

Not so amazing. I remember reading something like this in our weekly reader when I was a gradeschool kid.

[thecabal]

Neat story. The human brain is truly miraculous.

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

That would make her the world’s smartest liberal.

[Yorlik803]

The poor girl. If only she had been born few years from now, she could have been aborted and thus spared the pain of living.
Also, she wouldnt be consuming vaulable medical care that could be used on someone more productive.

Yup. I had testicular cancer a decade ago, and had one removed. Since then, I’ve gotten married and now have three children. Thank God for redundant systems.

Didn’t the esteemed neurosurgeon Ben Carson prove this was possible years ago?

[Jabba the Nutt]

Most people live normal lives with half-a-brain. Hey, Rush Limbaugh is notorious for having half of his brain tied behind his back.

[editor-surveyor]

"Neurological researchers are astonished that an fMRI revealed her retinal ganglion-cells "changed their predetermined crossing pattern" and re-mapped in her brain to create nearly normal bi-scopic vision."

I don't know about the rest of the story, but this part is nonsense!

Biopic vision is based in the principle of the triangle, and two points do not a triangle make.

[Truth is a Weapon]

No big surprise. The entire democrat party has been walking around with less than half of a brain (collectively) for generations.

[grey_whiskers]

Say hi to Lance Armstrong for me.

Cheers!

[HiTech RedNeck]

Scientists are stunned to discover that a ten-year-old German girl's brain has rewired itself to allow her to see out of one eye as though she has two, even though half of her brain tissue was entirely missing from birth.

Is this a surmise from the connection paths of the optic nerves, or something empirically determined through depth perception tests?

[FrogMom]

What book was it that had a character born with only one testicle? The other boys in the story charmingly :P called him “Lack-a-knacker”.
