What Do You Do To Stay Sharp?
Like many here, I fancy myself rather bright, but sometimes I feel a little less-than-brilliant. It's easy to fall into a rut and not challenge oneself and an unchallenged mind atrophies quickly.
I do crosswords from time-to-time, friends of mine do Sudoku - but I can't get into that. Lately I've decided to commit Poe's Tell Tale Heart to memory. After two weeks of effort I can recite about 1/3 of it verbatim. How about you?

Drink beer until I puke into my shoes.
I believe in the buffalo theory A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers." :D

I'm sharpening my wits with a fosters can tonight :)
One o fmy other one's (and Rod is going to flinch on this), I play about 10 minutes of something violent on the computer. Gets the adrenalin going, narrows my focus; kind of like a cup of coffee (FEAR is a good one for this). Other than that, when I have time, I come up with little programming challenges for myself (how geeky is that?). It pays off though. I wanted to know if i could make a program to download pictures off the web, and I now have a program (that i willl sell someday) that can scrape all the pictures, videos, or whatever you want off of websites and download them. Kicks butt so far :)

Always, uh, drink a lot of coffee. But not all the time...only in the morning.
If you act really stupid, your enemies will think you ARE stupid and will then reveal their strategy more quickly. Wear a monkey mask in public at least once a day, it make you feel GOOD!
