JUST A QUICK THOUGHT

Today in Linguistics 101, I learned that there's a special part of the human brain that keeps track of "emotive" words, which includes, among other things, ethnic and racial slurs and profanities. Even after someone has undergone a left hemispherectomy, which would otherwise remove their ability to speak, they still have the ability to use these words.

Now the first thought I had upon learning that will really show you my sick sense of humor. I envisioned Terry Schiavo, lying in bed, moaning, interspersed with the occasional "FUCK!" As if she's not only braindead, but also suffering from Tourette's.

and that's the thought for the day.
