Isn't it a wonderful thing to contemplate that as far as we can
tell (and the photos are all far too fuzzy to prove otherwise) that
you just may be the most intricate thing in the universe...or at
least our solar system? Do you get goose bumps when you think about
how two single cells could have gotten together, eventually turning
into the magnificent you that you turned into...and just what is a
goose bump anyway...and what are they good for? And for you anatomy
fans...it is admittedly a stellar occasion if you can recall
(especially during a test) that the small spaces between the nerves
in the brain are called synapses, but doesn't it add meaning to the
monotony to discover that crossing those synapses, the electrical
impulses that allow you to sense, and then dodge a pesky mosquito,
travel through the brain at a little over 240 mph, and that this
same impulse will travel 4 inches inside your head in approximately
the same amount of time that it takes a car traveling at 60 mph to
roll over a postage stamp stuck to the road? Yes? You're going to
love this book.
