Your brain is a collection of microscopic fandoms
In their most recent work this year, the research team reported that a single human neuron could recognize a personality through pictures, text or the sound of a name -- no matter how that person was presented. In tests, one brain cell reacted only to Oprah Winfrey; another just to Luke Skywalker; a third singled out Argentine soccer star Diego Maradona.
Each neuron appeared to join together pieces of sensory information into a single mental impression. The researchers believe these cells are evidence that it only takes a simple circuit of neurons to encode an idea, perception or memory.

One of the “neighborhoods,” named Central Park, features a square with boutiques, restaurants and bars, including the “Rising Tide” bar, which the shipping line describes as “the first moving bar at sea.”
It moves up and down three decks, allowing customers to get on and off at different level promenades.
Is that a good idea? If you got really wasted, wouldn't it confuse you if the bar was in a different place when you left?
By cells I totally meant
