Mental system software
According to Health SciTech, your brain boots up like a computer:
As we yawn and open our eyes in the morning, the brain stem sends little puffs of nitric oxide to another part of the brain, the thalamus, which then directs it elsewhere.
Like a computer booting up its operating system before running more complicated programs, the nitric oxide triggers certain functions that set the stage for more complex brain operations, according to a new study.
Some mornings, I think my brain boots up more like a spyware-clogged system in serious need of a disk defragmentation.

If my computer booted up as slowly as my brain, I’d be pissed because it’s 2006.

hahaha … i’m not so sure my brain boots up like a computer. it seems to me it’s more like a crude machine powered by a hamster running on a wheel. and an old, asthmatic hamster at that.
