"... Scientists discover 'second brain' in the stomach

Scientists are claiming to have discovered a second brain - in the human stomach...."

"...The second brain was rediscovered by Michael Gershorn, of the University of Colombia in New York, after it was forgotten by science. He says it was first documented by a 19th century German neurologist, Leopold Auerbach.

He discovered two layers of nerve cells near a piece of intestine he was dissecting. After putting them under the microscope he found they were part of a complex network...."

"...Recent research has already raised the idea that many reactions may be made in the stomach. Benjamin Libet, of the University of California found the brains of volunteers asked to raise their arms only registered activity about half a second after the movement had been made. He believes his work implies another part of the body may have been involved in making the decision...."

Universal Suffrage for Stomach Brains!

Thought you might find this interesting:

Message 14732407

If half I hear is true then we might see some BRCD valuations on QLGC. I note that you had no comment on that prospect before.

BTW - This particular poster has been rare but accurate before. And I know that for sure, Data General has messed around with Ancor switches. I think that we are in for some interesting times....again.

Sounds to me like a BRCD short might not be such a bad idea.

Storage rules...period. Now let's find the right companies.

I say IISL is a distinct possibility in the storage software space. I'm talkin' home run type stuff...not for the conservatives.

What do you have against driving on sidewalks?

Beats driving off bridges -- especially if you're a passenger ... <g>
