The Human Brain

I read this thread title this morning:
The continuing Cellar Car saga

And I thought of this:
The continuing Cellar Carl Sagan

And I thought of the Carl Sagan auto-tuned song "A Glorious Dawn" (see here on Youtube).



And I left to drive to work. I was in a 30 mile-per-hour zone, and another car was behind me, right on my bumper. I thought of the comedy routine, "everyone that drives slower than you is a moron, and everyone that drives faster than you is a maniac" or something to that effect.

Now, I wondered, what was the name of the comedian who did that routine? I couldn't remeber. I could see is face. I knew that he had an album called Toledo Window Box. I knew exactly who the guy is, I just couldn't remember his name.



Because all I could think of, when I tried to remember his name, was Carl Sagan.



I knew, this must have something to do with it. I knew that I would understand, once I had remembered. And I did. And it all made perfect sense.
