In summary, the neurologists discussed their various careers and what they would need to do to pursue them. Henry Head, Neurologist, 1861-1940, said that he would need to start working in real estate. Russell Brain, Neurologist, 1895 -1966, said that he would need to become a pedicurist. George deForest Brush, American Painter, 1855 - 1941, said that he would need to do is start working in real estate. And I need to become a carpenter. The conversation moved on to other professions and how busy they would be. Carpenter Coopersmiths and Smiths would be quite busy, according to the neurologists. Finally, the conversation moved on to Bernard Madoff and his

That's hysterical! If he writes he probably teaches:

"I'm taking math with Professor Dull this semester."

I used to know someone with the last name of Swindle. He was a used car salesman.

There are a LOT of Bakers and Cooks in this area. Not many Hookers, but some, and about as many Drivers. Enough to re-enact "Payback" several times over. I wonder if Lucy Liu has anything lined up currently - she was pretty good in that movie.

I just had to go google for him. Couldn't find much on Professor Dull, but then he first published that book back in 1941.

And FYI - this is also the author who gave us, "Plants for Washing Sand and Gravel: Effective and Efficient Equipments for Reliably Economical Work", just in case you might have seen him as one-dimensional.

I have an old physics book - The Physics of Vibrations and Waves, by Pain.

My uncle worked with a finance manager named Joe Economy.

Tsu knew a gyneacologist named Hyman.

I went into court with a friend once and the judge was rather amused when he called out for a defendant named Rebel.

When I first saw the book in my college library (many years ago),
I recall that it had two authors... but I couldn't find a reference to it... until now.

"Dull, R.W., and Dull, R. 1951. Mathematics for Engineers. McGraw-Hill Book Co, New York."

Would that be Dull and Duller?



sorry...

It's even funnier seeing it on the spine of the book.

Is that the author... or a warning..?

Henry Head made significant contributions to the understanding of the sensory and motor systems of the human body. He is best known for his research on the localization of sensation and the role of the nervous system in pain perception. He also made important discoveries about the nervous system's response to injury and disease.

3. Who was Russell Brain and what is his connection to Henry Head?

Russell Brain was a British neurologist who lived from 1895 to 1966. He worked closely with Henry Head and was greatly influenced by his research. Together, they published several papers on the sensory and motor systems, including the landmark book "Studies in Neurology" in 1920.
