[QUOTE="Chesterton, post: 76029630, member: 225709"] I have a funny one from a conversation I was having on CF a couple years ago with a fellow in England. I'll copy and paste how it went: [INDENT][I]HIM: So the levels of activity in various neural pathways of the brain influence the sensitivity, connectivity, and growth of those pathways; rather like the way exercising a muscle influences its vascularisation, innervation, and growth. This is why the black cab drivers of London, who have to learn hundreds of routes through thousands of streets (called 'The Knowledge') to get a licence, show significant growth of the hypothalamus, involved with spatial memory. ME: Only black drivers show growth? HIM: Drivers of black cabs...[/I] [IMG]https://www.christianforums.com/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.telegraph.co.uk%2Fcontent%2Fdam%2Fnews%2F2016%2F11%2F20%2Fblack76816554_DFER6K_Bl_3523767b_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqpJliwavx4coWFCaEkEsb3kvxIt-lGGWCWqwLa_RXJU8.jpg%3Fimwidth%3D450&hash=e74867ecc45347d60d7930b21f176561[/IMG] [I]ME: Whoops. :D Over here they're usually yellow. I thought you might be taking us into a whole different debate.[/I][/INDENT] In my defense I had never heard of the "black cab" so well known over there. If you said what he said in America, it really could only mean what I took it to mean. :) [/QUOTE]
