I used to have fun trolling by saying "we only think with 10% of our brains". Then as soon as someone comes in thinking they were about to school me real good, I'd drop the fact that 90% of our brains aren't neurons but merely glial support structures so the statistic is technically true. The ol' double cross in pedantic trivia. I guess I need to stop doing that now.

I think the latest research indicates that glial cells are about as numerous as neurons (the article says something to this effect as well), so the joke would update to "we only use half of our brains".
