Brain, Brain, run away, come again no other day

The Brain - Gremlins 12 inch roto-cast action figure - NECA
Gremlins, like any pet that chews holes into budgets and smears its love all over the carpeted areas of the dungeon, need some care. Essential to the domesticity of their kind into being civil citizens of a house are three golden rules.

1. Keep them away from bright light; 2. Don't get them wet; 3. Never feed them after midnight.

All very well and good and transferable to many other species, such as mutants and goldfish. Takes some thought into looking after pets, and humans, and even cars for that matter.

Short of drinking a spiked flask of Dr Catheter's brain formula, there are more than a few ways to work on increasing the nubbly wobbly matter floating in the skull.

Meditation - According to New Scientist, the quiet still of deep meditation can work those brain muscles into throbbing busters of thought and cognition.

The Guarana hit - found in many Brazilian drinks and swimming in the backwash with Vitamin B in some energy drinks. Like drinking brain juice, moderation is key. (Dr Pepper is still hard to find in Australian stores and somewhat irrelevant to this note.)

Mental calisthenics - Crossword puzzles, Sudoku, anagrams featuring Alec Guinness, little exercises that work on the memory and its acuity also happen to stave off Alzheimers. To an extent.

Man With Two Brains - If all else fails, there's the option of swapping brains. Warning, some personality waste may affect as part of any transfer.
