Easter Dinner
Ham, au gratin potatoes, green beans. Here at home--we've sworn off the crazy brother in law for good.

So, eating, discussing dinosaur brains, like you do at Easter dinner, Paidhi Boy observes that, "Dinosaurs, one of their brain things was art."

Of course we asked for clarification. The explanation involves some diagram of a brain he saw that had different sections labeled "Math" or "Science" and so on, as though there were such easily identified segments of the brain.

So, we've explained that brains don't actually work like that, but I'm still a bit boggled by the whole idea of the art center of dinosaurs' brains. I guess they didn't do rock carving, and all that literature and painting was lost in the meteor strike.
