Today is Brain's birthday.
Perhaps fortuitously, it falls on both World Brain and National Hammock Day.
According to Brain, birthdays should involve:
- a hammock
- absolutely no urgency whatsoever. (All the clocks have been covered up. We're not thinking about time.)
- snacks within arm's reach
- cake
- more cake
- extra cake
- emergency reserve cake
- and "brain food." (which by Brain's definition, is also... cake.)
When asked whether cake genuinely improves brain function...

Brain replied:
"It certainly improves mine."
Research is ongoing.
