Most often, people will argue for what they want the case to be. Just listen to Congress. Whether or not they have a point is regardless. They argue for what they want for their constituents. You barely hear, ‘Good point. You’re right.’ In stead of wasting time arguing, just say, ‘that’s what I want’. So, what are brains for, to enjoy good wine?
Obviously, they are for posting threads like this.
“what are brains for?”
eating .. sweetbreads 😉
Sweetbreads are the Thymus Gland.
Sweetbreads are the Thymus Gland.
Please don’t tell me that’s what brains are for. (knowing that)
oops! I stand corrected. *ouch*
Brains are for baiting zombies.
Sweetbreads are the Thymus Gland.
I always thought it was the pancreas.
“What are brains for??”
IDK; Ask someone who has them!
Watch out. Someone with brains might find this thread ‘not amusing’.
There are different pshutim of what sweetbreads are
DY could be both
There are many different parts of the animals body that can be called ‘sweetbreads’, some people call rocky mountain oysters ‘sweetbreads’.
When you go to a restaurant and order sweetbreads, or go to a Simcha and are served sweetbreads you are getting the Thymus Gland.
Thymus. My father in law was a butcher and he was the one who informed it was not brains. I LOVE sweetbreads.
“Sweetbreads or Ris are culinary names for the thymus (throat, gullet, or neck sweetbread) or the pancreas (heart, stomach, or belly sweetbread) especially of the calf (ris de veau) and lamb (ris d’agneau) (although beef and pork sweetbreads are also eaten).[1] Various other glands used as food are also called ‘sweetbreads’, including the parotid gland (“cheek” or “ear” sweetbread), the sublingual glands (“tongue” sweetbreads or “throat bread”).[2][3] The “heart” sweetbreads are more spherical in shape, and surrounded symmetrically by the “throat” sweetbreads, which are more cylindrical in shape.”

OMG, Wait a minute – Did I just post this before?
Yea, I sure did. But how would I possibly remember?
I don’t have any brains!
Without brains we wouldn’t know that the sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side.
Somehow I lost the purpose of this thread in its title and its dialogue. Best wishes.
This question came up many years ago, and one answer was put to music in 1939:
I could while away the hours, conferrin’ with the flowers
Consultin’ with the rain.
And my head I’d be scratchin’ while
my thoughts were busy hatchin’
If I only had a brain.
I’d unravel every riddle for any individ’le,
In trouble or in pain.
With the thoughts you’ll be thinkin’
you could be another Lincoln
If you only had a brain.
Oh, I could tell you why The ocean’s near the shore.
I could think of things I never thunk before.
And then I’d sit, and think some more.
I would not be just a nothin’ my head all full of stuffin’
My heart all full of pain.
I would dance and be merry, life would be a ding-a-derry,
If I only had a brain.
It seemed a lot more profound when I was a child.

Bezalel’s post reminded me of a quote from the famous philosopher, Shaquille O’Neil: I’m a Pathagerian Theorem-nobody can figur me out!

I hadn’t known that, thanks.

Actually, you get whatever they decide to serve you. Since they know most people don’t know what it is anyway, they just take the mushy stuff from when you cook ground turkey, and add potato starch to make it a little more jellish, and some other junk, and roll it on out.
bezalel’s quote is from the scarecrow in the wizard of oz, for those who missed it. And it’s totally wrong. The Pythagorean Theorem states: the sum of the SQUARES of the LEGS of a RIGHT triangle is equal to the SQUARE of the HYPOTENUSE.
“they just take the mushy stuff from when you cook ground turkey, and add potato starch to make it a little more jellish, and some other junk, and roll it on out.”
Let me know where you had the sweetbreads that can be described as such so I can steer clear of that establishment.

He did put quotation marks, you know.
“-ab, -ab
With the two negative ‘ab’s we cancel the ab,ab”
Actually, this would equal -2ab.
-ab +ab would cancel out
(there are other flaws, oh well)
