When I typed ‘pick your brain’ in Google I was rather surprised to see the number of articles giving advise on how to avoid having your brain picked. Personally, I don’t find it that painful and am typically happy to share my thoughts with people. But perhaps if the pickings were more frequent, I might begin to have negative feelings about the cranial exploration.
Do you mind having your brain picked?
I don’t mind having my brain picked as long as you promise to let me know if you find anything of value in there! 🙂
Deal! I’m sure there’s something useful in there. 🙂
It’s a deal! Find anything of value in there, and I’ll split it! 😉
I get my brain picked about medical issues when I go to family get-togethers. It’s: “What do you think of this skin lesion?” Or “I’ve been getting these stomach pains for a while now.” At first I don’t mind, but after a while it gets more difficult to abide, especially when I get questions about the prostate. With a background in pediatrics, that isn’t exactly my forte. 😉
Yeah, I can see how that would be annoying. As an engineer, there not many opportunities for relatives to ask me things I can help them with, like “How do you build a bridge?” or “Which pressure vessel design analysis software do you recommend?” 🙂
Haha, I suppose not. But you might get asked to help with math and physics homework. 🙂
slim picking for this brain. Most of the time, I don’t know what questions to ask to make a conversation interesting. Have seen a real brain in a jar? Or a slice of it? Or Einstien’s brain? Science is trying to study the genius in his brain. BUT nobody can actually pick how the brain functions.
Please do share your thoughts. It’s easier for me. Tee hee…
If I can help, I am always happy to answer questions. I seem to get a good amount of home repair/renovation questions. I guess I look handy.
Probably the engineer sign stamped on your forehead 🙂
