Some of the more intelligent of the group studied/discussed had but a thin sliver of brain tissue lining their skulls, the remaining space being simply filled with fluid. The brain is simply the most complicated object in the known universe, and these kinds of findings show just how little we understand of precisely how it works

It appears that this man is a civil servant, which leads one to wonder if there might be a good reason French bureaucracy is such a mess…

Just kidding ;)
