I'm just wondering where the other half of the brain is.
What would YOU do with half a brain?
Besides enjoy the live-action "Baby Huey" movie, of course.

They could probably have
sold the 37-year-old truck
for more money if they
had left the brain there.

Well, today they provided further proof that Kibo's Rule Of Zork Interpretation
is true:
> SANTA ANA, Calif., March 12 (UPI) -- Investigators say half of a brain

Well, was the other half human, at least?
Anyway, those of us who played a lot of Zork in the eighties knew it
wasn't human the moment the computer typed out "...what appears to be half a
human brain..."
You see a doorway leading to what appears to be an empty room.
> ENTER ROOM
The room is filled with deadly invisible bees!
You flail at them with your pathetic little arms.
The bees appear to be retreating.
> WHEW
But they only appeared to be retreating because you're wearing
your BackwardsVision goggles. You're a bozo! The bees sting you!
You are dead.
Do you want to see your score, which is 0 out of a possible 37? (y/n)
In other words, the word "appears" appears to always mean the opposite
of whatever you think it means. Even if you take my rule into account.
Which you should, because my rule appears to work.

Think about it:
"Bob Hope _appeared_ in a K-Mart commercial..."

See, playing Zork when I was in first and second grade really helped
my vocabulary, and one of the words I learned, of course, was:
"APPARENTLY".
That's not why I feel stupid.
I feel stupid because I learned the RIGHT meaning, and I didn't solve
a lot of stuff because of it.

Well, DUH! Everyone knows that K-Mart commercial featured one of those
Disney animatronic thingamajobbies. It was in all the papers.
