Pretty sure I've seen this video posted here before, but I'm posting it again anyway as it seems relevant. http://www.ted.com/talks/jill_bolte_taylor_s_powerful_stroke_of_insight.html EDIT: Okay, that's weird. The url is correct, but it's not linking to the page. =/ For those who want to...

'Ned the Pie-maker' from 'Pushing Daisies' (played by this gentleman here): It's easier to talk about what we don't have in common than what we do (amazing cooking skills and the ability to bring people back from the dead notwithstanding). Ned natters when he's feeling stressed, whereas I...
