we only use 10 percent of our brainpower

[joggerjayne]

This is nonsense, isn't it.

It's a complete urban myth started, no doubt, by weirdos who believe that we could all teleport, if only we could tap into our dormant brainpower.

Well, wake up, weirdos ... because it's all poop.

I can find no credible study or report that actually supports this statistic, nor any accepted criteria for the measurement (or even the definition) of "brainpower".

Admittedly, with some ABers, you would hope that they have at least another 90% in reserve ...

... but, generally, this is a bizarre, and unsupported, "statistic".

Just a thought for the afternoon.

If we could all teleport down to Brighton you would have a house full of ABers. How thrilling would that be for you. lol

[joggerjayne]

Hi, bobjugs. You're from Norwich, then?

LOL

Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital.

[redman41]

Can we test out your mental Telepathy JJ ? We might have more brain power than we realise ! :-)

[joggerjayne]

Ok.

Oh, a house full of ABers would be SO jolly.

I'd provide lots of whiteboards so that we could write messages to each other. Otherwise ... how would we communicate ????

[joggerjayne]

I like that, snags. x

that theory was refuted in the press a week or two ago as a big myth, we all use 100% of our brains....sadly ;)

When people are experimented on and they are given puzzles/ their response to certain pictures etc are noted down, the mri scanner clearly shows that lots of the brain is used. So, it might be that if you are given a pretty face& ugly face rto loom at then a memory challenge and a puzzle, on the four mri pictures, collectively you use at least every bit of your brain once.

[mollykins]

'to look at' i mean.
