The guy in that video is quite a preacher. He would make a flat rock interesting to more than a geologist. Now I know what's wrong with me, although I have edited a couple of books were other people, I haven't read a book in years. Hence, my brain is probably atrophying rapidly. Does reading short stories and articles count? I believe that I've read every short story and article in Playboy over the last 40 years. Does watching TV count? I am now averaging watching about 15 TV dramas every week and there isn't a single laugh track in any of them. Am I going brain dead? ;-)
I Google and Wikipedia a lot… Does that count?
