Insert these cliches.

I thought we only used 10% of our brain at a time and that's why our intelligence seems to fluctuate in such a large range over our life. (that's a lot of spare and the 10% can't be set in stone). I was just informed that this just ain't so because our brain is compartmentalized in such a way that each cell group is assigned a specific function, so using more than the current percent would not only not increase intelligence it would be painful as well. That's what I get from forming all my theories from cliche's and old wives tales. But, then, why do people become wiser?
