Shouldn't that be /dev/brain0? That'd make it easy to umount it when you
don't need it for a while... Or, of course, for some people to do a mount
/dev/brain0 /ass -o noexec ;)

then you have a whole new meaning to being fscked in the brain

The brain does have multiple functions though, short term memory, RAM,
and longer term lesser accessed archival functions that can take a while
to access.

Interesting question. And really, *could* you store data in the unused
portion of the brain?
