Does the brain control you or are you controlling the brain? I don't know if I'm in charge of mine.
It's like the panda, they say that's dying out. But what do they do? When you see them they're just sitting in the jungle eating
I'm a bit rubbish at knowing when something is good. But if it goes out and I can say, "I wasn't as bad as I thought I would be", then I'll be happy. Until then, I'll be thinking, "I shouldn't be here!"

I always have a problem liking things that I'm told I should like. This has been the problem with most of the Wonders I have seen so far.

I find that if you just talk, your mouth comes up with stuff.
