This poem was read out by Danny Baker on his Radio5 show last Saturday morning; it had been sent in by a listener in response to Danny's repetition of the fact that human's have a second brain in the gut.
It is my belief that these 'second brains' are more like local or satelliteservers, distributing messages to & from the brain (or at least the memory) which resides in every cell.
Dinosaur poem
Behold the mighty dinosaur,
Famous in prehistoric lore
Not only for his weight and strength
But also for his intellectual length
You will observe from his remains
The creature had two sets of brains
One in his head (the usual place)
The other at his spinal base
Thus he could reason apriori
As well as posteriori
No problem bothered him a bit
He made both head and tail of it
And if one brain found the pressure strong
He passed a few ideas along
So wise was he, so wise and solemn
Each thought just filled a spinal column
And if in error he was caught
He had a saving afterthought
If something slipped his forward mind,
Twas rescued by the one behind
Since he could think without congestion
Upon both sides of every question
Oh gaze upon this noble beast
Defunct ten millions years ... at least
It is attributed to Bert Taylor of the Chicago Herald Tribune but the date given varies wildy according to which source you use - anything from 1905 to the 1940s
