The brain is like an inflatable/deflatable balloon. Well, at least I think mine is. To cite an example, take yesterday for instance. After my last paper for this semester, the end of a gruelling 4 month-long examination period, I was unable to answer simple questions like "Hey, what's that dude's name, the guy we met last week?" or "Hey, you know the way to that place right? Tell me how to get there" or "What's 50 minus 11?". The only answer I could give was a gaping mouth spewing incoherent words. When I stepped out of the examination hall, I thought I heard my brain just fizzle out with a "phhhhhhhhhhtttt" whistling sound, akin to the sound of air rushing out of a pinprick hole. I guess that explains the euphoria I felt then! It wasn't because I was simply happy that exams were over. Instead it was my IQ points gushing out of a teeny hole, evaporating into thin air. Does that mean that more education leads to incessant stupidity? If so, then let us all be blubbering idiots!
