The Theory of Intelligence

Jeg fik lige nedenstående på en mail fra min gamle ven, Thomas. Det er nok den bedste forklaring på, hvorfor det hjælper at drikke meget og citatet er fra Cheers (Sams Bar).

Jeg har ikke oversat det, da det mister lidt af charmen i så fald, så jeg håber at det går :-)

'Well you see, Norm, it's like this .... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first.

This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells…

Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.'
