A Collection of Funny Quotes
Why do I have a page full of funny quotes on a web site about
brainpower? Because humor is essentially a lateral thinking process,
and can be a form of brain exercise. You are lead in one direction
and then surprised by a sudden turn, or you are shown a different
way to look at something. In addition to encouraging creative
thought, humor causes a release of endorphins that makes you
feel good, and wakes up your brain.
