prozak Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin ? the inept mail carrier and drinking buddy of Norm, was explaining the Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm, and here's how it went: b> "Well ya see Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members." " In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. ?Excessive intake of alcohol, as we all know, kills brain cells, but naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine." "That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers." true...true... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dessimat0r Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 Give me... beer. I feel smarter after consuming beer! I had a coding spree the other night after having some alcohol. It does get you off your head a bit, but the coding is good. Think about the brain much like how the Internet works, only a billion times more efficently. What would happen if you were to purge bad nodes and links from this Internet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CdCViRus Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 when coding is concerned, what you can code in 1 hour when sober, you can code in half an hour when drunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Pitt Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 lol, Intresting concept in theory, However, like communism, it's bad in practice. Your brain doesn't move as fast as your slowest brain cell. Your slowest brain cells are new synapeses or "old << spam >>s". so in effect you would be killing fading memories or new information. There is no such thing as "bad" brain cells, or slow ones. THey do not slow down processing. This theory makes absolutely no sense from a biological sense but it is intersting... and now i have an excuse to drink Ummm yeah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a true hardcore drinker, and still pulled 4.0s almost every semester. Maybe it is true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
