Day 68 - my intelligent colon

Day 68 - my intelligent colon
Originally uploaded by dumpstin.

OK, so I'm reading this book and it talks about cellular intelligence...

It refers to a recent discovery that our colon/intestines/liver/stomach

have a huge network of neurons (which was known) but now they are

realizing that these organs can actually THINK!



This isn't a big deal when you consider that for a long ass time, people

have been thinking with their guts. Having a "gut feeling" about

something is pretty normal.



My guess is that our guts were some of the first parts of our bodies to

develop (through evolution). When we were just amoebas, we needed to

eat and shit... So, our shitters were also part brain. Then we

developed our cortex and medulla oblongatta. But, check it - your gut

is part of your intelligence... So when you have to take a shit next

time, see if you can get your ass to talk!



an easy 2 wiper,
