How many megabytes should a human brain be able to store?
In its latest cross-border taunts, North Korea's state-run media has called South Korean President Lee Myung-bak an "underwit with 2MB of knowledge."How many megabytes should a human brain be able to store? A lot more than two. Most computational neuroscientists estimate human storage capacity somewhere between 10 and 100 terabytes. A terabyte is 1 million megabytes. -- Leanback

"Underwit." I like that.
Not a bad insult, even considering the source. Of course, what is the intellect of Young'Un?

Terabytes devoted to being teased by under-wits in middle school and not a kilobyte on where I left my car keys.

I like "underwit", too. Who says nothing good comes out of North Korea?
