What Can I Do In Tampa For My Anniversary

phrenology!

A tattoo?! NO! is the guide of Phrenology!

Today is one of those rare Sundays. One of those where the light looks different and does not appear particularly boring. Still, as more than half of mortals, I hate Sundays. Especially after the semicatacroker yesterday when I gave my my hard drive with all my photos disappeared. Luckily with the help and patience I managed to recover much of my library, but too bad you missed my photos posing for playboy ... cachis.
And now that it gets hot, crowded on all examinations and boredom, you better talk about some interesting gristle, either as a person spends 25 € on a bracelet powebalance (if a colleague of yours has it and says it works, tell him he's stupid on my part), or de como era cualquier ciencia de hace un par de siglos. El primer tema sería un tema muy fácil. No hace falta ser un Pitágoras para desmontar rápidamente los milagritos pulseriles. El segundo tema...tiene mas encanto, como cualquier cosa pasada. Mi madre, muy sabia ella, me dijo una vez que cualquier cosa pasada fue mejor. Tiene razón en parte ya que ahora no se hacen las cosas como antes. No hay buenas series infantiles (menos Pocoyó, alabado sea), los chicles con sabor valen 3 euros, no hay flás (o poloflash) como los de antes..ahora es todo mas mierdoso. Además, se evidencia una gran falta de creatividad cuando te das cuenta que la ropa que está ahora de moda es la que llevaba tu madre hace 30 años...es algo que da thought. And if you do not believe, ask questions, to ask is what makes us smart, believe everything is what makes us fools. But mistakes makes us more intelligent, at least some. Therefore, the failed Phrenology was a science, which became the germ of other modern sciences, so let's discuss it a bit.

Madam, your son is a violadol.

First things first, Phrenology has nothing to do with the brakes, unless you have a Toyota (you get it?). Well, that's for starters. Now returning to my usual seriousness the topic that touches us, say that Phrenology was an ancient theory that held that it could discern or know the main features of your personality by the shape of your skull, as simple as that.
The founder of this science was doomed to catacroker Franz Joseph Gall, German anatomist and physiologist who had a special predilection for the brain. It was the first identified gray matter as the active part of the brain (neurons come on) and white matter, as the conductive part of the brain.
S Since late eighteenth early nineteenth centuries, some sciences took shape and others were in diapers. The Phrenology was born as the thought of a man who believed he was right.
phrenology today is but a small chistecillo, which to us looked like science with some affection, as when we remember when we were small and did not do stupid things or crazy now and still smile. However, its principles were not at all fanciful. It was established that the brain was the organ of mind. The mind, with their different powers, such as speech, vision, thought, are handled by different brain regions or areas.
So far so good. Today we know that this is more or less well. There are areas in the brain that you can talk, others do not forget to breathe and one that you remember to buy your sister a birthday gift that you saw so cute pijadas store in the mall.

if not a man or a woman, and I am not referring to the skull.

Mr. Franz Joseph Gall was going well until he started to freak out and postulated that the development of certain brain regions are manifested in the shape of the skull. That is, if we supposedly had a more developed region of the brain than normal, percetptible had a lump on his head and just for that you were a bloody murderer!
The Phrenology was very popular in the nineteenth stupid even to our country, with Mariano Cubi making such a big fish phrenological studies (as Count Eusebio Güell Bacigalupi) Catalan lands back.
was very popular in the USA and some European countries and like any science, was used to fuck by people who had no fucking idea. Specifically, Phrenology was used as a rational argument of racism, that is, because the blacks, Chinese and wombats have a different head than whites, they are inferior because it says Phrenology. It's like going on today in this land, which according to the RH genes or blood, but the Basques are the English Chachi. This argument is easily removable, and it's stupid to assume that one is better than another when there is always someone better than you. So complicated is to admit that we are all human beings? It seems to be yes.

elite Phrenology!

The Phrenology got a fucking party when Paul Broca localized the speech center in the brain, confirming the assumption that the brain has regions that are responsible for certain tasks.
Something fucked up happened to the Phrenology is when it was shown that the skull thickness varies considerably, therefore, could have a pretty bultaco being noticed in the head but ... only have 2 mm of bone that does not mean there nothing.
But as I said before, we must see the Phrenology as a toddler taking his first steps, you are wrong and awkward, until she becomes something of benefit, such as neurology.



Funny how not too many pseudo-sciences have been intruded into our lives. The trouble today is that pseudoscience use one of the most valuable commodities there today, stupidity. Use the stupidity of people to sell products that do nothing, see homeopathy or those who speak bracelets holograms and electromagnetic fields. The best way to defend all these bullshit is quietly smile and ask, why? Asking what makes human beings human. That question led to our friend Gall to formulate a theory that seemed correct, but it was not. Served as a seed for something much bigger and we discover the mysteries of the brain. So you know, to ask why!!
