Brain mass to body mass ratio: To put it simply, brains have more free wiring to devote to abstract thought when bodies are thin. When people are fat or really muscular that means more nerve endings of their brains not devoted to other things. However, being too thin might cause the brain to become smaller - and balancing the brain mass/body mass ratio wisely is hard.

However, the summer before last I lost about twenty pounds fairly quickly because I was active and had become a vegamitarian, and I laid down and found myself able to read four hundred pages of a book at a single sitting! I rarely am able to that when well fed and sluggish.

There are body types that allow for this dynamic more than others, I think. However, there are probably allot of variables I haven't accounted for such as privacy, change of environment, low stress lifestyle different lighting etc.

You got that right. You left out the type of hair creme they use!

I am too stupid of a person to write blogs and while I think that's sad, I also lament even more my inability to have proper command of the language.
Well that's it. From now on, from sun up to sun down I'm going to start blogging. For the next two and a half months, I will do nothing but blog cogent and clearly articulated thoughts on Slate.
Even if I have nothing to say I'm going to start a chatroom for ruminations that make little to no sense but are clearly worded.
I must say that all this language difficulty started with my introduction to ontology. O the days when I was ontologyless were intrepid and quite valuable to me, not like these days where I hover under a huddle of inarticulateness like a little black African girl with malaria.
Days when I didn’t talk into the power sockets like those guys on Hogan's Heroes.
