New Scientific Thing + Geek TV

It's been school holidays for about a week now, and in that time, bugger all has occurred.
So far, I've made it through Season 1 of Merlin, and Season 2 is almost done. All that remains is to finalise a new addition to a philosophic/scientific concept; in this case, the left/right brain theory.

The left/right brain theory (not actual title or official theory) is a concept that a person is either a left-brain or a right-brain type of person, depending on certain personality traits and skills.
The "left" is predominantly logical and analytical, while the "right" side is associated with intuition and creativity. While the left and right hemispheres (or "sides") of the brain do share similar functions as well as certain differences, it is believed by quite a few people that your thought patterns (amongst other  mental characteristics) define you as either "right" or "left" brained.
So with that in mind, some more functions of the "right side" include:

  • Recognizing faces
  • Expressing emotions
  • Music
  • Reading emotions
  • Colour
  • Image
"Left side" functions:
  • Logic
  • Critical thinking
  • Numbers
  • Reasoning
  • Language
Now that you know all this if you didn't already, here's the thing that boggled my mind the other day;

We know when we first start writing if we're right or left handed. And later on in life, some people discover that they're ambidextrous (able to use both hands equally well). And then there's those people who write like their hands are made of jelly beans.
What if, perhaps, this rule was to apply to brains?
What if some people are right brained, some are left brained, and some are ambidextrous brained (able to use both sides equally well, but with extreme brilliance?), while everyone else has brains made from jelly beans (but they're just called retarded). 

I've Googled "ambidextrous brained", but results about the mental properties of ambidextrous people came up... not anything about ambidextrous brain sides/hemispheres. So maybe I'm onto something?
If you've got anything you'd like to say about brain sides or my potentially innovative theory, let me know in the comments below. 

PS:
I don't know how many of you guys are addicted to geeky/nerd TV and film. But have you, perchance, witnessed the pure amazingness of Merlin????
If yes and you loved it at once; you were born brilliant.
If yes, but you didn't at first; you achieved brilliance.
If you just haven't seen it; brilliance shall hopefully be thrust upon you.
Or maybe you don't like it and weren't destined for brilliance. I suppose that's cool too.
BUT IF YOU'VE GOT BRILLIANCE, then hopefully you'll enjoy the following montage of the best looking people in the history of geek TV. If I've missed anyone, or you demand a sequel, let me know and thy wish is my command. And I may or may not have put in extra pictures of certain people, but it was too painful to leave any out.














(Because Leonard and Penny are televised fictional proof that something as unusual as nerd hooking up with someone "out of their league", can happen. AND THEY'RE SO CUTE IN THIS PIC!)







I definitely think I've missed a few people.... Room for a sequel?
Have a fabulous week, and don't do drugs.
