The Human Brain - An Amazing Machine

A few weeks ago, I was cooly jogging down the streets around suburban Sydney with wicked music in my ears from the iPod. All of a sudden I stumbled on something and fell over. The thing is, I remember how much I was able to think in between the moment I knew I was falling and until I was sprawling on the ground. I had the iPod in my hand and while I was falling I remember thinking; so, what are my options here? I don’t just want to let go of the iPod, because it might break against the tarmac. I don’t want to hold on to it either because I want to stop my fall with my hands so that I won’t hurt my knees, which are a bit fucked up anyway. All these thoughts just ran through my head in this split-second. In the end I managed to let go of the iPod just before I hit the ground and stopped myself from doing any major damage to both my knees and the iPod.
Imagine if I normally could use my brain like that. I would be some kind of super being or something. Like Milla Jovovich in the end of Residential Evil II, which we watched yesterday. It was RUBBISH by the way. Donnie Darko was cool though.
