Beauty of science, the human brain... split in two!

This is a must see video... 

Human dissection (WARNING Very Graphic Content)

From the tiniest veins, arteries and nerves to serial cross-sections of the spinal cord, these incredibly detailed dissections show and label most every part of the human body.
The collection is the product of a 17-year collaboration between David L. Bassett, a School of Medicine alumnus and faculty member known for his elegant dissections and love for the human body, and William Gruber, the photographer who invented the View-Master stereoscopic viewing device.

 A deep dissection of the side of the head shows the many blood vessels (red arteries, blue veins) and nerves (graying white) in the facial region. The hole is the external ear canal. The temporal muscle, used for chewing, is the prominent fan shaped muscle on the side of skull, behind the mouth and above the jaw.

Human brain wires, the Neurons

A good friend of mine once said "THE HUMAN BRAIN GENERATES MORE ELECTRICAL IMPULSES IN ONE DAY THAN ALL THE TELEPHONES IN THE WORLD." This is to confirm his statement. He also added "one brain.... 100 billion wires ... number of possible permutations for connections of neurons.. ... 100 billion factorial = ~ 3.75 times 10 to the power of 1,056,570,551,815..."

Crazy lion man

Would you have the guts to do that ?

We are the top of the food chain; We are what we M-eat

I know I’m going to get a lot of 'dislikes' about this, but before I start please keep an open mind and don’t judge before you read this, your first post about pro-meat eating.

 WE ARE GENETICALLY OMNIVORES!

The first and most obvious reason why vegetarianism is not in our nature is, it goes against the basis of science, the biological and genetic making of the human body. We are omnivores, born that way for generations probably since the beginning of Human life. If we look at the vegetarian species, they all don’t stop eating, they eat all day. Elephants, giraffes and cows consume more food than any carnivore on the planet. And what is the common characteristic among them? They are all huge! I’m not saying, if you become vegetarian you will get bigger but those animals are that big for a reason. In their bellies you can find the biggest digestive systems in the world, which allows them to eat that much. Something the tiny human digestive system can’t do. The reason why they need to eat that much is because the body absorbs about 30 to 60% of the nutriments and vitamins in vegetarian food, and close to 90% of the ones in meat. Fibre is very hard to digest; our stomachs need to take breaks through-out the day, so we can’t eat as much as big animals and certainly not from the same kind. If we do, our stomachs become loose and the more we eat the more we need, not mentioning how gassy we would become, something no one wants. Gas is not only uncomfortable, it can become painful, the whole process of bloating disturbs digestion. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying eating vegetables are not good for you and I’m not saying meat is the only food you should eat. All I’m saying is that since we are omnivores we need a balance of both.

Spineless penises leads to bigger brains (this is a good one) ;)

Researchers in the faculty of medicine in Stanford university recently found out that big brains and a softer penis is the result of a DNA loss in our evolutionary road. By comparing the human DNA and chimpanzee's (our nearest evolutionary relatives), they found out that most of our differences are the result of the loss of a DNA sequence. Having monogamous relationships is apparently based on the loss of the penile spine. Animals like chimps and dogs, have a penile spine, which leads to a more competitive mating system.
