That's a myth! Everyone uses all of their brain (except broken bits). The whole 10% thing was invented by Yuri Gellar when he needed to explain why he could bend spoons with his mind and nobody else could.
It stuck because: 1) It plays along with people's wishful thinking and 2) It's a statistic, and people tend to believe statistics.

Redsky - Do I detect a hint of sarcasm?
Prof. Frink (Pointing to sarcasm detector) - Are you kidding? This baby's off the chart!
Comic Book Guy - Oh! A sarcasm detector! What a useful invention!

I sometimes think my mother has a sarcasm detector implanted in her brain...I wish it would explode too...
Who ever said 'sarcasm is the lowest form of wit' was either a loser or a pom.

Y'know, like this:
*Puts on sarcastic voice* "Oh yeah, sarcasm is the lowest form of wit"

I DID NOT!Ok, yeah, I did ![:-[](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/embarrassed.png) , but you'll never prove it! ![:-X](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/lipssealed.png) It's all Eircom's fault! Ok, you probably don't know who that is, but it's still their fault!

Well that's a good thing, just in case they ever try to spread...
Course, the big thing in Ireland now is "alternative" telephone/internet companies.
These are small companies who pay Eircom for the use of their phone lines, (which are terrible) and then ask people to pay them to use them. Somehow, they expect it to be cheaper for the customer and profit-making.
