Warning: Enlarged Right Parahippocampal Gyrus Ahead!

No, really.

The New York Times reports
today (and yet, it's likely true) that neuropsychologist Katherine P. Rankin's located the part of the brain that perceives sarcasm: the right parahippocampal gyrus. I can only imagine how much my "rpg" is working most of the time compared to say, the part of the brain that remembers how many pints there are to a quart or what the capital of Genosha is.

Give it a read, it's actually interesting and potentially practical. (seriously)

Obviously, starting tomorrow, we'll be doing what we can to stimulate growth in that part of the brain of The Offspring, so they can finally understand what their father is saying.
