    It is insupportable that chess causes brian shrinkage too. I, for one, will not stand for it.

      Doing lots of any one thing will lead to shrinkage somewhere else, be it physically or mentally. But this is chess, some things are worth losing out to chess!

          In The Wizard of Oz, the Scarecrow expresses similar sentiments when he sings:

          I could wile away the hours
          Conferrin' with the flowers
          Consultin' with the rian
          And my head I'd be scratchin'
          While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
          If I only had a brian

                  Thank you. I wondered how many would "get it".
