Science Corner #1: Brain Food sm
These delicious cookies were half-baked by an advanced Home Eco-Neuro-Nomics class at MIT. Students, who have completed prerequisite studies in Mechanical and Bio-chemical Engineering, designed and manufactured detailed cookie cutters based on the physical shapes of their own brains. But these aren't just funny shapes! When a cookie is eaten, a fascimile strand of the designer's DNA is downloaded into the consumer's sytem. The new strand operates on a pre-conscious level, influencing new cell development. Professor Angela Fleance, one of the world's leading Home Eco-neuronomicists, and designer of the project, commented, "It's not like eating one of these cookies will morph your brain into the chef's brain. You would have to eat at least two dozen cookies from the same recipe, before you'd see anything like a clone structure emerge."
