> [@kski](#): > > Actually, Scientists Believe we use only 0.10% of our brain’s capacity, not 10% Um, no. My favorite retort to this ridiculous idea is that almost 30% of the brain is devoted to sight. And why do you keep resurrecting (sp?) five year old threads? ---

**kski** , please don’t resurrect threads that are more than a month or two old unless perhaps you have a very specific factual answer to the original question that wasn’t answered previously. In any case, threads this old shouldn’t be bumped at all. bibliophage moderator GQ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/brain-damage/521.md?page=1)
