You know, until recently, they *did* used to say that we only used 10% of our brains.

Well exactly.

Film script writers probably use less.

Obviously, someone has never faced a full-blown raccoon rebellion. It ain't pretty...

I think it was Harlan Ellison who gave an example of "creativity" in Hollywood: A producer races into the office of a studio executive. "Chief! I've got a great idea for a movie: let's make The Wiz, white!"

(If you don't get it: The Wiz is a version of The Wizard of Oz with an all-black cast.)
