The Limbic system, our 'mammalian brain,' little tiny organs deep inside our head, underneath our 'great cerebrum.' But in a way these little organs are far more powerful than our cerEbErum, our 'thinking brain.' Love, fear, greed, excitement, anger, violence, happiness, sadness, boredom, friendliness, jealousy.....all these emotions that we go through day after day every second that we live on this Earth comes from our limbic brain. Now the center of this limbic brain that does the main processing for all these emotional responses is called the amygdala. The amygdalas, two little almond shaped organs on each side of your head. BUT BOY DO THESE TWO LITTLE ACORNS PACK A PUNCH......YOU PEOPLE REALIZE THAT WE HAVE BEEN LIVING UNDER A 'NUCLEAR UMBRELLA' FOR WHAT A LITTLE OVER 60 YEARS?.....AND VERY RECENTLY WE HAVE BEEN LIVING UNDER A 'CHEMICAL' OR A 'BACTERIOLOGICAL UMBRELLA.' WHEN PEOPLE CONTROL THEIR ANGER AND THEIR PROPENSITY FOR VIOLENCE THEY CONTROL THEIR 'AMYGDALAS.' I'M JUST PRAYING AND HOPING THAT MAN CAN 'CONTROL HIS AMYGDALA' FOR A LONG LONG LONG LONG TIME LIKE MAYBE FOREVER AND DOES NOT DO SOMETHING IRRATIONAL THAT COULD....... DESTROY EVERYTHING

AS MAN'S AMYGDALA GOES......ALL LIFE AS WE KNOW IT GOES......

BUT THIS IS A PLEASENT STORY...A SILLY STORY....YOU REMEMBER THE STORY THAT I WAS IN CALLED 'I RUN THE SHIP?' WELL THIS IS VERY SIMILAR...IT TELLS THE TALE OF LORD AMGDALA WHO MAKES ALL THE EMOTIONAL DECISIONS RUNNING MY BODY AND RULING ALL THE SUBJECTS BENEATH HIM...SO ENJOY....

F LAROUCHE

Scene: Interior of Fifi's skull showing the main 'control room' with the four main officers, Lord Amadala, Queen Amagdala, King Left Cerebral, and Queen Right Cerebral, handling the controls.  The large computer console in the control room  is Fifi's primitive brain, which consists of the cerebellum and the brain stem.  The primitive brain controls the functions of the spinal column.

Main actors:

Lord Amagdala:  Fifi's left amagdala, ruler of the 'ship.'   Similar in persona to 200 Year Old Great Writer.  He also specifically runs the Left Limbic group,the executive group where Fifi organizes her thoughts and makes her final decisions from the other three 'brain groups.'  Body temperature, hunger, and thirst are also regulated by the left limbic group.

Queen Amagdala: 2nd in command of the ship, the Queen runs the right limbic group where emotional response plays a large role, the infromation is then relayed to Left Limbic group where final decisions are made...Very similar in persona to Fifi herself....Sense of taste and smell is also regulated by the right limbic group.

King Left Cerebrum or LC.......Similar in persona to Helos: 3rd in command of the ship....LC obviously runs the Left Cerebral Cortex where theroretical/verbal/scienctific calculations are made and relayed to the Left Limbic Group....

Other Officers who report to KIng LC

Commander of the right mouth,  right eye and right ear group

Commander of the right muscle group

Commander of the right skeletal (not spine) and nervous system

Commander of the digestive group

Commander of the urinary tract group

Queen Right Cerebrum or RC........Similar in persona to Alocki....RC runs the right cerebral cortex and relays creative/visual/spatial
