I've heard from a lot of people that we only use about 10% of our brain, do you think this is true?

I'm not too sure on that one... I have heard it said the whole 10% theory... But as we all know, we use every part of brain (or for the most part) at one time or another...

But to try and attain even 50% of your brains functionability at once, that would be like driving a car, reciting the alphabet backwards, counting on your fingers in English and your toes in another language you might know, reading a newspaper, holding a phone conversation, remembering every detail of your life, etc. etc. all at the same time... not possible... (If you try all that... your dumb!!!)

It has also been said that through using forms of experimental drugs, we open up different parts of our brains that would normally lie dormant or be able to use multiple parts of our brains simoltaniously...

For example (from personal experience) .... I noticed while I was on ecstasy I could hold a conversation, listen to a different conversation, watch a movie, hum or whistle a song while a different song was playing, give someone a "light show" and listen to birds chirping outside our window all at the same time... and I did this with ease... But the next day I could hardly hold a conversation, watch a movie, cook and look out the window at the same time...
Different things allow our brains to work and function at different rates...

So I say yes to the 10%, being that is the average amount a person's brain will function at one time...
