the brain's basal ganglia is the switchboard for the globus pallidus, the ventral pallidum, the substantia negra, and the subthalmic nucleus for increasing impulsive behavior... in short: if ya gotta itch, scratch it!

The Tallest Mountain in the World Is Not Mount Everest.
Though it is the highest mountain in the world (at 29,029 feet above sea level), it is not the tallest. That distinction goes to Hawaii's Mauna Kea Volcano, which measures 33,476 feet from its base to its top. |

What I don't consider useless is the FIRST killed. The first killed can teach a lesson Kennedy didn't heed in Dallas! Archduke Franz Ferdinand believed to be first to be Assassinated in an OPEN Automobile? |

Remembering the dead is useful because we are human. Well, most of us ... I guess. It reminds us of the very personal cost of war. That each and every one of those crosses in the field are there for someone's son or brother or father. Whether they were the first, last or whatever ... doesn't really matter itself. What matters is that we remember what the last war cost us when we think of starting a new one.
Anthony Marchione's death isn't a useless fact. It's one of the most important things you can remember.
