Did anyone else check three times to see if one was spelt "Brian"?

  At least Biggus Dickus seems to be working fine

I would absolutely not vote brain. That thing is the cause of 99% of my suffering.

29
- Same
  
  Get that thing out of there
  
  10
- I wonder what the direction of causality between these two sentences is.

  It hurt my brain to consider what you are implying.

I think brain has an unfair advantage.

- That’s just brain guilt talking

instead of urethra if there was penis results would have been a lot different

The left side of the brain controls the right side of the body. It also controls language. There's a theory that that's why the words for the left hand (and left in general) are usually associated with evil ("sinister" in Latin means "left", for example), while words for the right are associated with good ("dextrous" comes from the Latin "dexter", meaning "right side"). The left side of the brain might be literally disparaging the side of the body it doesn't control, while praising the one it does.

Anyway, I vote for sphincter.

- Brain gotta poop.

  Someone knows their ancient Latin proverbs.

- A sphincter is not an organ. Muscle is tissue.

  Then why does mine sound like an organ sometimes?

- Isn't that left brain/right brain stuff pseudoscience?

  Yes and no: different parts of the brain DO have different functionality and the language center IS in the left half, but you'd need your whole brain to demonize body parts since a lot more than just language would be involved in the reasoning, the decision, the planning and the execution..

  In general the left brain does language. It's been proven by observing people who had their hemispheres separated. The whole story about the left brain calling the left side of the body names is pretty speculative though.
  
  It's also true that we tend to exaggerate the whole left/right brain thing in popular culture. The idea of left or right-brained personalities is one example of a pretty inaccurate characterization of how the brain works. But there are very real differences between the hemispheres.
  
  All of that is just based mostly on recent interviews with brain scientists I've listened to, I'm not an expert!

There's a few who thought the urethra is the best.

Gotta hand it to them. Guess they went through something... making them feel like this

- Also pretty sure urethra isn't a fucking organ unless they meant genitals.

An old Emo Philips joke.. At least that's the first place I heard it back in the 80s.

Losing most of them would kill me

Losing my brain would keep me from knowing

Heart that would suck quick and be over

Skin would be slow and painful....

My brain read that as Brian
