Summary

 ⁠In this episode of The Brain Food Show, we begin by discussing a random quick fact involving the parents of Ferris Bueller on Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Next we move into the main content for today’s episode which is discussing how exactly people used to get human heads to shrink and why they did this in the first place. Moving on from that, we look at the fascinating saga of famed philosopher Jeremy Bentham’s head and body. Finally we move into some feedback and then an interesting Star Trek Fact related to skeletons. And for those interested: ⁠Picture of Jeremy Bentham’s Head⁠ Our mentioned video on the history of passwords: ⁠Who Invented Passwords and the Guy That Made Them Suck⁠ A sampling of Marina Sirtis talking at various conventions: ⁠The Riker Maneuver⁠ ⁠Riker and Picard Badass Walk Loop⁠ On another note, if you could do us a huge favor and rate and review this show in whatever podcasting platform you’re using (including hopefully giving us some feedback related to the new format), we would be extremely grateful.
