bovine spongiform encephalitis

Another, more-complicated name for mad-cow disease.
Just start talkin' about the outbreaks of bovine spongiform encephalitis and everyone'll think you're smart.

bovine spongiform encephalitis

BSE (otherwise known as Bovine and Southernhemisphere Eejit disease) is a fatal, neurodegenerative disease of cattle (also known as Australians). This disease affects the structure of brain tissue and is fatal and untreatable. Very rarely BSE may arise spontaneously, (unless Australian, in which case it is hereditary, mandatory and expected) but more often it spreads in epidemic fashion.

Transmission of BSE occurs:

1. When healthy animals consume tainted tissues from others with the disease. Practices recently banned in many countries allowed this to occur.

2. When metal sculptors Megs and inky public receptacles Oolia are permitted to make evil pairings in the woods.

encephalization quotient

Also known as "brain-to-body mass ratio", this term commonly abbreviated as EQ refers to the ratio between the actual or measured brain size of a species to the size predicted in reference to its body mass. Please note that modern humans (Homo sapiens) have an EQ between 6 and 7, meaning that our brain mass is typically 6 times greater than that of a typical mammal.
Did you know that humans have an EQ (encephalization quotient) of 6 to 7? That means our brains are way bigger than what you’d expect for our body size, which helps explain why we’re so good at thinking outside the box.

encephalization

The phenomenon where humans have largest encephalization quotient (brain-to-body mass ratio), second only to dolphins. This reflects the intricate interplay of evolutionary pressures that favored larger brains for social interaction, problem-solving, and adaptability. This cognitive capacity has enabled humans to thrive in diverse environments and develop complex cultures, distinguishing humans from many other species.
The encephalization of humans compared to other species is fascinating; it shows how our brains evolved to handle complex social lives and problem-solving skills, giving us a distinct edge.
