Musings of a Compulsive Thinker

Has anyone seen my brain?

... because it seems to have sprouted wings and taken off sometime in the last 30 minutes.

It can't have gotten far, right? How fast do brains fly? And what is the coefficient of lift for brain wings? What is a brain's lift-over-drag ratio? What kind of turbulent flow results from brain aerodynamics?

I can't answer these questions; I don't even know if my brain decided to wear a safety helmet.

I was doing fine up until a little while ago. I've been holed up in the lab all afternoon, so about fifteen minutes ago I took a walk upstairs to my professor's office (the one my subconscious believes is partly mechatronic) to pick up my old homework. And when I got back and sat down at my lab station, I couldn't do any more work. I think the crafty old brain took the opportunity to escape out a window upstairs when I wasn't paying attention.

I sure hope it comes back before class tomorrow.
