The average human brain is 1500 grams. Here is a partial list of animals with larger average brain size:

Bottlenose dolphin 1600 grams

Asian elephant 7500 grams

Killer whale 5620 grams

Pilot whale 2670 grams

Sperm whale 7860 grams

Fin whale 6930 grams

Which of these animals do you think would make the best chess player?

 Is it possible a lot of your friends are "pinheads?"

My teachers always used to say, it's not about the size of the brain but how you use it  :)

You'd have to put your money on the elephant.

Seems to me he's the only one with the dexterity to move the pieces so he'd most likely win most of his matches against the others on time.

You're all wrong.  Chess players do have bigger than average brains.  Most chess players are male.  Males have larger brains than females.  Therefore, since there is a higher percentage of male chess players than males in the non-playing population average brain size in the chess playing population is greater than the non-playing population. Wink

I think advertisements on a thread about "brains" could be a paradox. I'll have to think about itLaughing

The worrying thing is the implication that there are 33 Lady Gagas out there.

I don't think our hairspray and lace industries can handle that.

That freaking "telephone" song should be illegal. It is sonic crack. Every time I wander into a store and hear that song, it haunts me for days. Yell
