Party Line Brains

' "We did not see any increased activation of the parts of the brain normally engaged during reasoning," said Drew Westen, director of clinical psychology at Emory University. '

What I think is funny
Is that we had to spend money
To prove beyond a doubt
That some people just tune out.
