I went out to spread some grass seed and set up the sprinkler and then I looked behind me to see these two urchins on the swing set.

PET scan potential
Well if you Googled PET scan in relation to serious medical concerns, this probably isn’t going to interest you; if you were thinking of the chips they put in pets’ necks that can be scanned to provide identification, you didn’t hit paydirt either.
What is going on here is that I started thinking about how it would be interesting to crawl in a PET scan machine and think about all sorts of different things and see what corresponding areas lit up. I don’t know . . . maybe thinking about Twinkies. Somehow I suspect that would make someone say “Christmas tree” as in, “Boy, her pleasure to fat brain zone is lit up like a Christmas tree.”
People could get scrapbooks of their thoughts and brain pictures – sort of like horoscopes or auras or baby books or palm reading. You could flip through the pages and go, “Oh, look, here I am when they brought a cobra in the room.” Why, in some people’s brains you might find new colors still unknown to man.
Then my brain made this little leap – and I would like to see what part lit up – when I got the idea of PET SCAN BRAIN ART. You know how people put pictures of their children on a staircase wall, or down a hallway. Well, maybe you could become famous in the abstract category by the way your thoughts illuminated.
And that now has me thinking of Picasso’s brain scan – and my mind boggled. Oh, hey, The Boggled Brain. Why, the field has no limits. Now if I can just figure out how to make money out of it.
************************* Just one more thought********************
Okay, consider PET scans of children whose parents want then placed in exclusive pre-schools. Applications including starburst math areas and language fireworks.
