Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
Taking a cue, (and exhibiting the remarkable secret-ego of the clarklike personality type), from Lizzi, (who writes with a skill and youthful abandon that I can imagine, yet know that I have too many years of practice being careful to even think about attempting), I will again charge zoe’s bloghop with quixotic relish.
“…I’m sorry, but six pounds.”
“Yes! the test was done 3 times and …and! the answer remains the same: six pounds.”
“No, at this point, there is no reason to check a 4th time. Ontologically, there is no basis or grounds for hope of a different outcome.”
“No, there is nothing that can be done. The standard of deviation in matters of this…. nature, is no more than .7 pounds, and even that is when one is in a state of rest that statistically, most of us can only dream of attaining.”
I had to look up “ontologically”. Nice story, Clark! I want this to be about a brain, a man brain, but I don’t think a brain weighs that much.
Dyanne’s comment cracked me up. So is it, Clark? A man brain?
“In later decades, men show greater volume loss in whole brain volume and in the frontal lobes, and temporal lobes, whereas in women there is increased volume loss in the hippocampi and parietal lobes. Men show a steeper decline in global gray matter volume, although in both sexes it varies by region with some areas exhibiting little or no age effect. Overall white matter volume does not appear to decline with age, although there is variation between brain regions.” (our friend at Wikipedia)
I find it shocking that the hippocampus is the area that volume loss in women is most prevalent … ask any Y chrome and they are complaining that the Xs never forget anything! ahhahahahhaha….. a little neurophysiology humor! Nice entry , Man! Thanks for linking over! AND I REPEAT ON THE wt challenge… ARE YOU INSANE!?
hold on, hold on!! your reference to neurophysiology has be wiki-bound! be back in a bit
lol
get it? Hippocampus is where memory is stored and x is xchrome and exes… from divorce that forget nothing…. hahahahahahah…. yeah it sucks when you have to explane it….
explain it… um…. oops….
lol
wait!! almost forgot to ask!!
hey come join us at the Hurry up and Weight Gravity Challenge at 2 Mile Run!!
Without a doubt, Ivy’s perception made me laugh. I NEVER forget anything about certain things, if you know what I mean. There are, however, some things that have to be pounded into my brain, likewise.
yeah… that odd fact, totally (seemingly) inconsequential event in the 3rd Grade… how does that even happen!
It is not the size of the computer but the ability to function satisfactorily that counts. However I must add I have lost a lot of memory from mine! please do not suggest re-booting.
lol…were it only that simple!
If only the scale could take pity sometimes.
What a thought provoking take on the word prompt!
thank you!
