      StarTalk you’re an astrophysicist Neil, not a neuroscientist. As such, we have not seen much about neuroscience. The closest I’ve gotten to neuroscience here is my neurons being burned alive by the facts that u put down on this channel.

      The newest episode of invisibilia was about an implant that would shock certain parts of the brain to combat depression and anxiety. People then reported getting less sleep as a side effect, but they went from suicidal to normal and maybe even euphoric. Once the implant was turned off the effects went away instantly.

If you wanted to test your setup and have a directory of pictures of cats, you'd get a couple visits per week, but with porn, you'd have hundreds per day.

      That's not true at all! Paul gets around. His experience with comedic acting and improv make him perfect for the stage right there with Eugene Mirman and Michael Ian Black.

He used a Jim Morrison quote without proper credit, I may add (lols), and brilliantly responded, “It’s the strangest life I’ve ever known.” Well my uncle Chris loved The Doors so I knew the quote.

    The amount of digs micheal was taking into Mayim. I felt so bad but she took all of them like a champ he just kept coming 😂🎉 props to her and Dr. Berlin for their amazing intelligence 😅
