The Brain

The picture of me is actually not me, but Brain from Pinky and the Brain. Brain is a lab mouse who is obsessed with taking over the world. Tom & Matthew's Pinky and the Brain Page gives you a a taste of Pinky and the Brain culture if you've never heard of them.

They have sound files that are pretty funny. This one is The Theme Music and gives you a glimpse on Brain and his obsession.

Here is another fun bit of reading I found on the page.
BRAIN'S WORDS

At the end of every show, Brain sticks one of his words into the credits. Here are a few I like:

Ultracrepidarianism - giving opinions outside of one's knowledge
Palinoia - compulsive repetition of an act until perfect
Hircismus - stinky armpits Brain2.gif
Psaphonic - planning one's rise to fame
Groaking - staring at someone eating in hopes they'll give you something
Honorificabilitudinitatibus - with honorableness
Anophelosis - morbid state due to extreme frustration
Unasinous - equally stupid
Empleomania - obsession with holding public office
Floccinaucinihilipilification - categorizing something as worthless trivia
Aerophobia - fear of air
Phronemophobia - fear of thinking
Morology - the study of foolish and nonsensical talking
Panphobia - fear of everything
Barophobia - fear of gravity
Ideophobia - fear of ideas
Persiflage - insignificant babble
Flexanimous - able to change others' minds
Otacust - a spy
