bilby commented on the word frontal lobe
"Tried. Doesn't work. Stole his bike - he borrowed a friend's. Diversion signs he ignored and the pools win didn't stop him either. I've tried everything. Time is the glue of the cosmos, Thursday, and it has to be eased apart - try to force events and they end up whacking you on the frontal lobes like a cabbage from six paces."
- Jasper Fforde, 'Lost In A Good Book'.
