Seattle (NBp) - Today, Seattle resident James Edward Foobar discovered
that he had reached the limits of his mental capacity. Foobar, who is
a student at an unnamed local college, made the discovery during his
calculus class.

Diagram presented to Foobar's TA illustrating the utilization
of his brain. Though calculus has been allotted a sizeable portion of the
brain, there is no further room for expansion.
"Yesterday, I was sitting there in class and everything was just fine,"
explained Foobar. "Today, it's like they're speaking a different language
or something. That's when I knew that we had crossed the outer limits of
my mind."
Researchers and philosophers have long thought that there was no limit
to what humans could accomplish. Foobar insists that this is wrong and that
the human brain's limited capacity will clearly restrict what people
individually and as a whole can accomplish.
Jamie Qwerty, the teaching assistant for Foobar's calculus class,
believes that Foobar is just trying to find an excuse for not attending
the discussion section of the class.
